How I would generate 3000 dummy tiddlers with 2-300 words each and optionally tag them... First download an empty tw-document - install Erics ImportTiddlersPlugin. http://www.tiddlytools.com/#ImportTiddlersPlugin Create a spreadsheet with these column headlines: title text tags field1 field2 field 3 etc.. For the titles column I would simply drag a numbered list (up to 3000 if you like), for the text column I would copy/paste a textsnip in every individual cell (drag or copy into all at once) with a lenght of 2 - 300 words (be carefull with commas! - see plugininformation) optionally tag with whatever tag you'd like - to be able to group tiddlers by category - and - again optional - create custom fields for each tiddler... Save the spreadsheet to a csv-file and import all tiddlers to the empty TW at once... I haven't actually tried this myself - but theoretically it should be possible..
