Thanks for the reminder. I was a little bummed about the 130+ backup
copies but now that I don't sync those folders my DropboxTW folder is
very manageable.

Your purestore experiment seems to implement Jeremy's idea of
individual files for each tiddler.

I like the idea that everyone connected to DropboxTW can have one (1)
or more public facing TWs (in the main folder) and then manage their
own content in private subfolders. Where I am getting confused is on
how you would share a tiddler from your private TW? If you want the
content to be publicly accessible would you have to move it into your
public TW (because all tiddler files must be in the same directory as
the TW they belong to)?

In looking around in AlexHoughDropboxTW.html, master.html, and
PMarioDropboxTW.html I got confused about where I should be doing any
editing. I added craig_tagsearch.html (thank you, Tobias Beer, for
your excellent http://tagsearch.tiddlyspot.com TW mod) so I would have
somewhere to throw content that shouldn't step on anyone else's TWs.

I perceive the vision of DropboxTW to be an environment focused on
collaboration. That's fine. My personal interest (currently) is to
leverage Dropbox and TiddlyWiki such that I only keep a single copy of
any plugin there but have all my various TWs loading it as needed.
This environment could certainly accelerate plugin development if two
(2) or more TW rock stars want to collaborate on plugin development.

Between Jeremy's description of a TW hosting tiddlers as files and
loading JIT and Bauwe's purestore experiments, we might be close to
seeing all the TWs currently in DropboxTW reduced in size to their
unique tiddlers. For the sake of organizational structure I hope it
becomes possible to manage these tiddler files into subdirectories:
plugins, pluginInfo/documentation, owner of personal tiddlers, etc.
This would reduce the clutter of the main directory and might help
address the segregation of public and private tiddlers.

BTW, I have no proprietary content in craig_tagsearch.html. Anyone is
welcome to edit as they please.

It dawns on me that in many Google Groups threads here someone will
raise a question or have an issue that is better demonstrated than
described. They are encouraged to create a minimal test case TW.
Couldn't we formalize a DropboxTW "repository" where those MTCs could
be posted consistently?
