Hi Matt, I use Dropbox *with* Tiddlyfox, the file just gets saved as normal into the Dropbox folder on my machine, which is synced automagically with the cloud version. I have a public folder (some people, I think, do not - though this may have changed again) so if I want anything to go live, I store it there - you can even enter a DNS record to point a proper domain name at the file and get what looks like a real website (eg; http://didaxy.net/) that you can publish to in the simplest possible way imaginable (by modifying the local TW and hitting save).
I guess the idea is that RickL's master wiki can pull from the online copies of the other wikis. I'm not sure whether Dropbox private links are as good as URLs for this purpose, or whether the wikis will have to sync to a public folder, but it still seems a bit over-kill-ish to rely on a round trip across the internet when all the files are right there. I wonder if TiddlyDesktop is able to do it? I haven't really used it. There is certainly some set of Node commands that can do it, right? It seems like we should be able to create some kind of desktop app for watching a bunch of standalone TWs and extracting selected information from them. Maybe it would even be easier to implement a federation prototype that way (with node clients, rather than browser to browser)?
