Quite interesting ... I like the idea, having a repo, that doesn't change weekly. I also like the idea, using the newest stuff. I think, having the core moved to github, can provide both. I feel comfortable if a stable core moves on every half a year of even every year. On the other hand, I thi

I am all in for "blowing out the dust". TW core development should be agile enough to move on, especially with fundamental, high priority issues like that of tiddler IDs. If there are plugins that were published for TW 2.1.x and are expected to flawlessly cooperate with 2.6+, I think one should ei
