Now that I've said that, I'm realizing that I should have made it an even bigger point.
OP's idea was so similar to my idea for a more specific, concerted, collaborated, documented, learning project, that in my head it was the same thing. I don't know how to do any of the things OP mentioned. But I'm going to learn them, and hopefully create something that will make it much easier for others who come to Tiddlywiki after me. -Cheers!
