When editing TW, you are editing the entire file, not just one tiddler. If I open the TW file at 9am and start editing Tiddler43, and you open the TW file at 9:01am and start editing Tiddler26, then who ever saves last will be the only one to have made changes to the file. If I save last then only Tiddler43 will show changes.
A different idea: Have each person desiring to make edits import the tiddler they want to edit into their own personal TW, and then once they are done with that re-import the edited tiddler into the official TW. You still have to worry that someone will leave the file open, and then save it 6 hour later, wiping out all the changes made between times.
