Tony, I see the value in what you're suggesting. I am however limited by my understanding of how TiddlyWiki operates.
Some questions I will try to figure out the answer to in the next few weeks: 1) How exactly will the android container facilitate a TW upgrade? 2) I would like the functionality to share something in android and add it as a tiddler. How will the android container do this?
