TiddlyWeb itself does not have federation built in and it is not a concept built into the default API, but here are some thoughts which may be of use: * There's a plugin[1] that implements a concept known as remotebag[2] which probably fits in here somewhere. * Federation is something happens as a result of an aggregation of servers and clients that are aware of each others existence. That awareness is the problem which needs to be solved/managed. * A file:// based TW5 configured with awareness of multiple TiddlyWeb servers[3] (or one TiddlyWeb server that holds knowledge of multiple TiddlyWeb servers) could self-configure to talk to those multiple servers and dynamically use content from them. It doesn't strictly have to be file-based even. I've experimented with this latter idea a little bit with only one server[4]. I think TW5 would need some adjustments to cleanly do this with multiple servers but I can't see any huge technical barriers to it happening. Content is relatively easy, plugin loading less so. I agree that once it becomes straightforward to take an existing TW5 and make it talk to arbitrary places on the network some very interesting things will be possible.
