Thank you for your answer. It can without a doubt serve, I'd say, unlimited purposes. And the fact that you outlined that, made me realize something I internally knew since the first day I started using TiddlyWiki : the way you organize TW, greatly depends on what you do with it.
I have flown over both plugins tutorials and I'm going to try them out on one of my test Wiki's, to see how I can use them. Your site is amazing. This is definetly the kind of organization I'm looking forward to achieve. I hope you don't mind me asking this question, but do you use TW for other purposes ? I'm asking because, I couldn't get my head around a question, which is, should I use only one Wiki for everything ? To give you an example, I read a lot of books and I take plenty of notes and I also write extended documentations about computer science. Now, what I'm doing right now, is creating one Wiki per subject. So I have a Wiki for programming, one for everything that's related to pentesting, one for system related things, one containing all my notes on books etc. I don't really know if this is going to be sustainble once I'll start transfering all the information to TW. Said like this, it might sound trivial, but I feel like if I mess up my '"entry" in TW, it's going to be hard to get everything straight later on.
