Hi.....I am using a slight variation on Mans's suggestion...and its
working well for small groups and not a lot of traffic.

Each user has a copy of the TW on his computer...it is installed with
UploadTiddlerPlugin and UploadTiddlerMacro (and the uploadfromFile
parameter is turned on) and LoadTiddlersPlugin (TiddlyTools). This TW
can have lots of great editing stuff built in - Quick-edit Plugin
etc.................On the server there is a copy of the TW in
PureStoreFormat...that is it only has the actual subject tiddlers, not
the whole gammot of plugins...so this file is fairly small and quick
to upload...........when a user opens his
TW....LoadTiddlersPlugin ....silently updates any recently changed
tiddlers ....and new work gets loaded back as and when it happens (via
UploadTiddler).......

There is still the problem of two people working on the same tiddler
at the same time...so its not true multi-user.....but the use of the
PureStoreFormat speeds things up......in my case students are adding
their answers/proposals into a common TW....so they are accessing the
same TW at the same time...but very very unlikely they are accessing
the same tiddler at the same time!!!

PS...set-up the PureStore online copy once you've got the TW working
as you want..otherwise the extra plugins and changes get
uploaded....or as I do....in my original TW I have two buttons that
toggle the UploadTiddlerfromFile parameter on and off....that way I
can work on the TW on-line or off-line.....
...with this scheme I can also edit the copies of the TW of the
students....and in case I need to correct something (in the
administration of the TW) I allow that plugin modification to be
uploaded to the server copy....thus I can remotely edit the operation
of the students' TWs!!....sort of simple at-distance maintainence of
the TW.
