Yes, we'll need a way to keep track of versions. If I recall, this is 
already in place with a kind of UUID both in Jeds and Jeremys variants. But 
I think that you'll only fetch from a few sources which will work as some 
kind of quality system. Also, if I recall my conversations with Jed, we 
talked about trackability and how to make the original source also be part 
of the meta-info in a tiddler. It's something we'd have to experiment with.

First, much of what I say about TWederation is just my vision of things. Of 
course, much of it already is possible even with the current TWederation 
version, but would still have to be built, like a "plugin list". This also 
means that how things will/can work is up to the individual federated 
networks and their participants. The transferring fetch-mechanism is one 
thing but what people build based from it is another, just like TW at large.

We would need some way of identifying sources so, yes, twCards make sense. 
As for finding the topic specialized wikis, there are a few imaginable 
variants. The simplest is probably that a few are already build in, just 
like the plugin library in vanilla TW has the source build in.

Heh! It sure seems like you understand everything.
