OK, that makes sense. You can work around the edit conflicts for a particular tiddler by setting the "server.page.revision" field to the string "false". Then, whenever that tiddler is saved, it is just jammed over the previous value, without concern for whether another user has modified it. There are more details in this thread:

An alternative might be to generate the name of the log file tiddler from the current username (so my stuff is logged to "log_Jermolene" and Matt's to "log_matt"); Best wishes Jeremy On Thu, Apr 14, 2011 at 3:28 PM, teukon <[email protected]> wrote: > Yes, some form of callback would be good here.
