It can already be seen in the top folder

that it will become very full and messy. Maybe uploading should 
automatically place it in an individual subfolder? Perhaps a signature 
could automatically create a folder titled like the signature. If two 
individuals use the same signature, I assume it's not possible to have the 
system tell them apart so uploads would end up in the same folder - but 
that may not be a big problem, at least not compared to currently when 
everything ends up in the same folder. And you can't if one signature is 
one or really ten people anyway. Having folders based on signature we at 
least have *some* segregation and it would be easier to find your own 
contributions.

Can I reach other contributors tiddlers in any other way than via the folder 
<https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B-USg0ow4LCZREVYcjJpYzhOcFU&usp=sharing>?
 
I.e is it possible at all to reach via the actual TW? I'm guessing this is 
not possible. But to depend on moderators to approve stuff for inclusion on 
the TW is cumbersome. How about this idea:

To upload, you must add a signature. As proposed, this creates a subfolder. 
And the tiddler(s) are added to that folder. The tiddlers are also 
autotagged with this signature.

In the TW you can tic checkboxes for which 'signatures' you wish to see 
included. Maybe a left sidebar checkbox list for quick on/off checking for 
what should be visible.

Taking it a step further, the signature can instead be a topic of some 
sort. If we're talking about Documentation, the signature could perhaps be 
Documentation. Or maybe "Documentation on Macros" or other angle. A visitor 
can then use the checkboxes to have only relevant information appear in the 
TW. 

There could be sub-subfolders. Documentation/Macros/BeginnerLevel for finer 
granularity. However, this also indicates a problem: Should it be 
../Macros/BeginnerLevel or should it be  ../BeginnerLevel/Macros ? This 
suggests another variant, kind of what is used in gmail for emails: There 
is a global list, but with filtere-folders based on tags. There is only one 
instance of each tiddler but there are alos topic foldes created from tags 
where you find the relevant tiddlers.

I would suggest additionally treating the signature as a tag here. Again, 
so you can quickly locate your own contributions, but also so you can 
filter on another individuals contributions. Maybe you're working closesly 
with some other guys on something. 

Note, instead of checkboxes, maybe better with the "tagsplorer macro" in 
TWC by, was it FND? It's a AND filter that lets you add one tag at a time 
from a list showing tags that are matching the filter so far.

Why all this? Because we should not need moderator approval at this stage. 
It's too early. At this stage it is collaboration on (e.g) documentation. 
You write something and I should be able to build on this right away. Too 
slow otherwise, hampering development. 

There are probably issues with my proposal regarding versioning. We must 
look deeper into that.

Also, must things not be sandboxed or limited somehow? I mean... what about 
code that affects the TW itself? Documentation is perhaps rather harmless 
but what about building up a collection of scripts?

Thoughts?
