I think he's a chiropractor, not running a chiropractical school. So far, I did not hear Dave speak one word of multi-user.

When someone speaks of grep, that wouldn't be the first thing to come to my mind.

That would indeed be something very powerful when building / serving a TiddlyWiki from node, I hope it will be something OS agnostic in the end. Maybe we're back @ python? :D ...possibly node can be bent to achieve the same. ~ @ Dave, > I'd imagine you could keep it all behind a firewall of some sort, backups > like any other file structure I suppose. So long as you build standalone output wikis for people to look at and don't expoe your node-server outbound, there is no need for firewalls.

If you expect to have the server construct a wiki with 1.000.000 tiddlers and then use and edit that wiki so as to write back changes to the server, I suspect you'll have long before met Mr. Performance Barrier.
