We're planning to use Tiddlywiki with a group of potentially 100
people, but for reasons too tedious to go into can't use a server-
based version. We'll be using TiddlyLockPlugin to prevent multiple
people editing at the same time.

However, we don't want people to block access for long periods so if
substantial edits are going to be made (and some of the tiddlers are
upwards of 10,000 words) we'll ask people to make the changes in Word
and then paste them back in (I've a function to clean up the resulting
messy HTML - I'll save questions on that for another post next
week...).

Obviously if people are editing a tiddler 'offline' there's a risk
that someone else amends that tiddler in the meantime. I was therefore
trying to work out whether we could perhaps get people to tag a
tiddler with 'BeingEdited' or similar which would then display a
message to warn people not to make amendments.

I wondered about:
* inserting something in a div in ViewTemplate and using
HideWhenPlugin to only show it when a tiddler is tagged appropriately
* using the annotations section - can only shadow tiddlers do this or
is there a way to do this in normal tiddlers?
* using transclusion - I dismissed this as tagging is one thing but
having to type in <<tiddler BeingEdited>> will be expecting too much.
Also, our use of HTML tiddlers would make this difficult.

Grateful for any thoughts on how this might be done.
