I'm very interested in this topic. A 'distributed' TW would be an ideal
solution for collaborative community work. 

At the moment although we open the whole TW for edit, there is a sub
layer that just opens a tiddler to perform the actual edit.

Could this two stage edit approach be developed so that a lock could be
placed at tiddler level rather than whole TW file level?

On a typical web deployment there is a live file and an area for
uploading files that, once verified (to a limited degree) are then
loaded onto the live server.

Could the bit of TW that combines all the tiddlers into one file be the
'server side' functionality? The tiddler to be edited then locked to
edit only. Any other edited tiddler, once saved could then trigger a
reload of the whole TW, including the last state of any tiddler locked.

Or am I moving into normal wiki mode and away from the 'tiddly' model? I
should think that if BT are interested they will probably be looking at
a distributed future for TW and probably trying to keep it 'tiddly' too
for the mobile phone platform.

Just a thought...
