That's beautiful, I love the idea of TiddlyWiki as a productive displacement activity. To answer Alex's earlier question about whether all my projects are like this - firstly, I've never had the privilege of being involved with anything like TiddlyWiki before, in the sense of being in the middle of a community of actual people. Perhaps the closest thing is the software teams I've managed over the years, at BTC, Dresdner, On Board Info, Interactive1, and now, finally, Osmosoft. When I think of those teams I suspect that I don't really see the commonality, because it is likely to stem rather directly from my own behaviour/values etc., which I'm kind of blind to. Anyhow, I adore working with other people, and building and shaping a team is one of the exquisite pleasures available to someone with my desire to build things. When I was a teenager I was kind of a hippy; I remember at 19 finally figuring out to my own satisfaction what the purpose of life is - I decided it was to love, and be loved. Which is possibly a bit naive from some perspectives. Anyhow, you may be able to glean better insights from this interview when I was 17: http://jermolene.com/2007/06/05/young-jerm/ One further thought is that it feels very much to me as though this version of TiddlyWiki is version "n" of a single product that I've spent my life striving to design. I hope that we are all still together in 20 years, putting the finishing touches to TiddlyWiki2030, with support for millions of tiddlers, and some kind of funky zoomy fractal visualisation that helps you perceive and shape connections and links.
