Hey there, That's quite a shopping list now isnt it? ;)
The good news is that all what you've mentioned is possible. The bad news is that I don't think there are existing plugins that will cover all of your needs, so you will need to write some of the pieces. I do have the writing of a presentation setup similar to what you are mentioning on my to-do list for the next version of the student and instructor notebooks, but I wont be working on it until later this year (July-August). However, there might be bits and pieces of the current instructor notebook that you might find useful. It allows for multiple "presentations" by combining a "SlideShow" theme with multiple instances of the NavigationMacro. Using the TiddlerNotes plugin allows for notes on slides which are not visible when viewing as a SlideShow/presentation but are otherwise. Feel free to take a look at the InstructorNotebook and see what if anything you might be able to use. However, please do note that this is very much still in development and rather raw and therefore I can't promise any support for it: http://share.lewcid.org/POLS250-InstructorNotebook.html (Go to Manage -> ListTags to get access to the plugins used) The StudentNotebook on the other hand is much more mature: http://lewcid.org/2009/02/11/student-notebook-workflow-demo-and-screencast/ Lastly, I am curious as to why you would prefer not have a server-side component for this? Having worked with this type of set up for over a year now, I've found that having some kind of server-side component in the middle vastly simplifies the user experience. If the issue is the ability/resources to deploy a server-side component we (UnaMesa) can probably help you with that.
