Many thanks for info. and advice. I downloaded the change.html tiddlywiki My immediate impressions are that: - simple operations (opening tiddlers etc) work okay - jscript freezes do occur - it may be best to avoid plugins if possible
The demands for the wiki are not great: the end product would hopefully look like a straightforward instance such as http://reasoningwell.tiddlyspot.com/, just a lot larger !! I would still *much* rather go via the tiddlywiki route than consider the various other php/mysql hosted wiki engines. It would be great for the completed wiki to be on the university site and then students can get a dump of the wiki plus the data by just saving the tiddlywiki html locally...
