Hi Soren, si, Some time ago we made the docs from tiddlywiki.com <http://tiddlywiki.com/> available as a plugin in the official plugin library under the name $:/plugins/tiddlywiki/tw5.com-docs. The idea was very much as you suggest, to be able to keep a copy of the docs in ones own wiki.
Sadly, most of the documentation had already been written on the assumption that the docs tiddlers were ordinary tiddlers, not shadow tiddlers, and so constructions like this don’t work properly: <<list-links "[tag[ActionWidgets]]”>> It would be terrific to go through and fix these issues to make things a bit more useful.
