Small scale manufacturing sounds very steampunk to me! ;) If you want to use TW5 then tiddlywebwiki won't do the trick, it produces TWC. Not only that, but it is also getting a bit behind the curve on the best ways to manage content (the new ways are more dynamic with more effort on the client side) and it no longer has built in support for server-side rendering (the WikklyText package on which server-side rendering depended is no longer being maintained) which impacts the quality of Atom feeds and search results. With a bit of work it is relatively straightforward to use TW5 with just TiddlyWeb. You need to create appropriate recipes and use the tank edition of tw5 (which has the tiddlywebadaptor built in) but otherwise it ought to "just work". What you would get by using Tank is more effective policy management, friendlier UI, etc. However that comes at the cost of their being some currently built in dependencies that you might not want in your own installation: auth via oath2 to github, facebook or google; storage of binary tiddlers in S3. Both of these things could be made optional, but are not currently. There's a lot of stuff in the way Tank is put together, especially under the covers, that I guess would be considered state of TiddlyWeb art. On the surface it looks like a nice little markdown-based wiki but there's a good deal more going on. I'm happy to provide help/input in assembling whatever bits and pieces turn out to be right for you.
