As I understand it is a feature of the tw-core itself -  You should be
able to do sth like:<<list filter [tag[someTag]
template:someTemplate>> > I must be doing something wrong, because

I only get 9 tiddlers tagged with systemConfig as well? - Don't know
why... > You know what I do when I need to search for a plugin? I open

If you ported your plugins (maybe as packages with two, three or more
related plugins and scripts) to TiddlySpace you can collect all of
them in your own library/space of plugins and scripts -1 To provide an
overview for visitors2 Let other spaceusers benefit from your
collection3 Have a FAST loading TW with direct access to ALL plugins
and scripts you have collected .. > If I can already have all these

You can still create minimal testcases - Just create a new subspace
and delete all systembags (or make them private)

I don't agree - I still think of a space as a normal TiddlyWiki. You
get some extra options to interact with other spaces - and  share your
work in ways that wasn't possible before..As long as you don't change
any of the TiddlySpace-system-plugins TiddlySpace is just sth. which
happens from the backstage.IF you change some of the TSsystemPlugins/
tiddlers you might get in trouble when there is an upgrade taking
place - otherwise you are left alone with your own TW....

If you click on the backstage to the left - select "Tiddlers" ->
"Spaces" and click each spacename you'll get a list of tiddlers
included from those spaces...

Yes You can, however I usually just include "classictheme" found at
http://themes.tiddlyspace.com (include it by writing "classictheme" in
the "includes"tab in the backstage to the left).Then I have a "normal"
looking TW, which behaves like one I would download from
tiddlywiki.com...
Downloading and uploading.
It's very easy to upload an original "one-file"TW from Your hdd to
TiddlySpace. Simply select import from the backstage and choose
whether the uploaded tiddlers should be Private or Public. (If you
change your mind you can always batchconvert them from the backstage
"Batch")...
Since uploading a TW to TiddlySpot has stopped working - this IS the
way to get your local TW to the net. (If you don't use your own server
and a ftp-client of course...)
I download a Space in three different ways:1) Go to the backstage to
the left - click the export tab and click download.(I don't really
need this because it downloads ALL plugins also the TiddlySpace
specific plugins and tiddlers - and I don't believe the synchronize
back to the server thing seems to work very well - please correct me
if I'm wrong...)2) Same as 1) however I import all tiddlers except
those which are serverspecific into a "normal" empty TW.(I change
View- and EditTemplates accordingly - so they don't use/try to show
user icons etc... - If I used "classictheme" - that's not a
problem... )3) I import the tiddlers I want from a Space (TiddlySpace
is Cors enabled) directly into a local TiddlyWiki...
