"server-side" label

[FND]

While talking to people outside the TiddlyWiki community, I realized (once more) that the term server-side implementation is very much misleading (e.g. suggesting it's all running on the server, a la  SSJS).

Perhaps adopting a term like "server backend" would help clarifying this relationship.

What about instead of TiddlyWiki server-side, TiddlyWiki server-store? server-backend feels like too many syllables.

I believe "server store" isn't sufficient - after all, TiddlyWeb also provides facilities for user authentication, detecting edit conflicts etc. Also, we should also consider the other server-sides, as any new term should apply to those as well.

Reassigning this to core and JeremyRuston? because this is a global issue for the TiddlyWiki universe, not just a TiddyWeb? concern

Assigning milestone to increase visibility.

I think that "server side" is a reasonable term for us to use. Wikipedia: "server-side refers to operations that are performed by the server in a client-server relationship in computer networking".

I appreciate that there's room for misunderstanding, but I'd set that against the hassle of changing language that's used extensively in the tiddlyverse, and the thought that any alternative term will be liable to misunderstandings too.
