The way I have approached this is to use my email client to copy all the TiddlyWiki Google Groups messages to a new “mbox” file, and then use a little tool I wrote a couple of years ago to convert the “mbox” file into tiddlers (most email clients apart from Outlook store messages in mbox files). https://github.com/Jermolene/mbox-to-tiddlers <https://github.com/Jermolene/mbox-to-tiddlers> A wiki I made in July 2019 with all the messages thus far to the main TiddlyWiki group is 17.7MB, and contains just under 7,000 tiddlers.
