I think this assessment isn't fair Eric. After all, TiddlyWiki is an
OpenSource project with manpower too limited - considering the number
of projects all going at the same time. And one has to wonder, how
beside all these tasks, there was still some time left for actually
advancing the core. Open source projects stands or fall with the
contributions of a community. And this need has been met with help
TiddlyWikis of various individuals, and the unheard of help shoveled
on us here at GG:

Looking at it from a different angle, maybe other forces might be at
work we are not even be aware of, as the core developers close to
Osmosoft are.
Just made a quick survey of the last systemConfig update of all major
systemServers:

But these dates still don't reveal the sad truth that the only one
which still came forwards with innovations during the last year is
only TiddlyTools!

Sure, all working at Osmosoft must be aware of this drainage of
contributing developers. And this blunt inclusion of jQuery library
into the core might only be a desperate attempt to avert a black hole,
without wanting to this communicate for good reasons?
