I hear you on finding free time / priority for this stuff. And you bring up a good point, about TiddlyWiki projects paying the bills. If TiddlyWiki had that kind of interoperability with SQL & NoSQL databases, or could be used as a type of document-oriented database, or as a front end / tool for such, it would probably gain traction in the business world. I have tried to champion TiddlyWiki at a number of places I've worked, and as useful and powerful as it can be, it's still kind of proprietary and limited. On the front end side, the #1 complaint I've seen is, you can't just paste rich text into it like you can in Microsoft Word, and have it "just work". Or for instance, you should be able to select a range of cells in Excel, and paste it into a tiddler, and a table is automatically created. I know there are wysiwyg editors out there, but haven't had much luck in getting them to work seamlessly like MS Word. I'd like to help bring TiddlyWiki into its own as a NoSQL database and OneNote killer, but like everyone my time is limited (and skillset). So the best I can do for now is post ideas and see if anything sticks (or already exists).
