Thanks for all of the replies, everyone! I had a feeling that "do whatever you want" was the TiddlyWiki way; that's a very familiar feeling as a Perl programmer. =)
I think I'll stick with one wiki for now, and I'll use individual tiddlers for each item. TW makes it so easy to rearrange things and to move tiddlers between wikis, so I'm not worried about painting myself into a corner here. Thanks again!
