I have had to re-implement from scratch in most cases.
The GNOME3 desktop has an architecture that is js/css-based I think. They also have a pretty cool ability to just go to a webpage and download and locally "enable" plugins within the desktop (by flicking a virtual switch in the webpage) that fundamentally changes the UI or add features. Perhaps this web-based repository is a model that TW5 can adopt. Where you have a "plugin|add-on|add-in|swarm|module" tab in the settings that accesses a set of tiddlers online and pulls them in and caches them locally when they are "enabled" somehow. Some combination of transclusion of _canonical_uri and cloning might achieve this with the repository simply being a specifically structured TiddlyWiki file online somewhere. /Mike -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
