Hello gentlemen, as Scott have already pointed most of the technical stuff, I'd like to add a couple of pragmatic tips:
1. eval vs import for plugins: I personally use eval for some plugins that are 1) editor tools and not necessary to read content 2) can be device-dependent example 1: IntelliTaggerPlugin by Udo [1] is needed only for authoring and it's convenient to eval it from a central TW (any changes in it will apply instantly -- for instance, one may desire to localize it) example 2: PasteUpPlugin by Eric [2] and some helpers can be eval'ed from outside, if use only for "double-click to edit transclusion" option; as they have some problems with touch screens, it may be useful to include and eval them from outside, from a common TW that is specific for the current device, and have another central TW for another device example 3: I wouldn't use eval for plugins like NestedSliderPlugin [3] or MathJaxPlugin as they are needed to view the content, and once I need to send a TW to somebody else, I don't need to import them, they're already in my TWs, -- I use the "import:4" option for them. example 4: despite the fact that I'd like to eval QuickEditPackage [4] from outside, it requires to *modify* both ToolbarCommands and EditTemplate (well, I've solved the latter one by modifying QuickEditPlugin), so I only installed it to TWs where it's most useful 2. In fact, I use a more complicated system which allows me to "install" any plugin (well, almost any) I need in any TW by a couple of clicks, once the plugin is installed into the central TW or in a "microrepository" -- a separate TW. The system is not yet as simple as I'd like it to be, but I'll outline the principles of establishing it: * each plugin is stored in a central TW or in its microrepository along with another tiddler named "NameOfThePlugin installer and updater" and tagged.. "component installer", as far as I remember * each TW wikifies a "hub" -- a tiddler from the central TW which contains different include and descirbeNode macros * the hub has somewhat like <<include "node: common settings.html" filters:[[Components installer]]>>, and the [[Components installer]] tiddler includes "installer and updater"s and lists them * each "installer and updater" has some include macros that: import:4 the "installer and updater" itself; and import:4 the plugin and other necessary stuff * when one opens and "installer and updater" from the list in the [[Components installer]], "installer and updater" offers to import stuff * installers and updaters are also transcluded into the "hub", so if an "installer and updater" was imported previously, it tries to update the plugin on startup like I said, not a very simple system, but in the end it allows to save quite a quantity of time. Best regards, Yakov.
