Hi everyone!

New to the community and very much a user and not a developer.

I last played seriously with TW back in 2008 I think - and things seem to 
have moved on a lot since then!

Here's a quick run through of what I want to be able to do with TW:

   - I want a web notebook that I can start to replace proprietary products 
   like Evernote
   - Content I want to be able to store are things like notes from meetings 
   and other activities, draft pieces of writing, a personal journal/activity 
   log, perhaps a way to keep a simple todo list maintained, records of web 
   pages and articles to go back and read
   - I would like it to be locally stored on my laptop, so it is always 
   available to me
   - I'd also like it to be publicly viewable *but not editable* on the 
   web, so people can either follow the whole thing, or (more likely) I can 
   ping people links to stuff.
   - The local copy should sync with the online version automatically, 
   without me needing to do anything
   
So I think a quick and dirty solution would be to host my TW file in 
Dropbox. However, having had a play this morning, I am confused about how 
changes are saved, or not saved. In other words, I need to be able to edit 
my TW but I don't want other people to be able to!

I'd also really like to be able to have my TW accessible via a friendly 
URL, which also perhaps strikes out Dropbox.

Maybe my ideal set up would be to have my main TW file on my laptop, with 
the public copy on a web server somewhere. Every so often, the local copy 
overwrites the online one in terms of the content, but the online version 
slightly differs from the local one in that the editing tools are somehow 
inaccessible. Could this be done with a script on my local machine, 
perhaps? Am not a coder, so am making stuff up now...

Am sure many of you have achieved something along these lines and it would 
be great to hear from you, and for me to play a part in the community in 
the future.

Cheers

~ Dave
