For each 'update,' I'm planning on sending out a complete TW, with all new 
posts (tiddlers) included (for those that don't wish to keep a TW around), 
and also a .json file containing just the new posts since the last update, 
for the folks who will be maintaining their own local TW.

The method I was going to use was just to include a $:/DefaultTiddlers 
tiddler containing the titles of the updated posts, so that they would 
automatically open upon a refresh of the TW after importing the .json 
file.  But after talking to my friend I see that would not work as well as 
I thought...


Why do you need to put a carriage return after each item, since it's all in

I thought the title of each tiddler in the file needed to be on its own 
line?  eg:

[[tiddler1]]
[[tiddler2]]
[[tiddler3]]


Do your import tiddlers have anything in common? In particular, a tag? Then

That is a very good idea, and one that I hadn't considered at all...

But, no, they don't *ALL* share a common tag - MOST are tagged "Movie", 
some "Short Film" and then there's a handful of other tags...

Plus, if I did a match on some tag within the DefaultTiddlers file, ALL 
tiddlers with that tag would attempt to open, including others that were 
already in the users' TW...

If we were dealing with even moderately tech-savvy folks, it wouldn't be 
such a problem, but trust me, the majority of my users do well to know how 
to turn their computers on :-P - Even so, doing it the way I have 
envisioned, I will still have to write up detailed instructions for them on 
how to go into ControlPanel and delete the 'updated' tiddler titles after 
they've viewed and digested them.
