Hey Tony, I wonder if we should ask Jeremy to let us use
- tiddlywiki.com/dev-docs - dev.tiddlywiki.com - etc. That way we are actually using a tiddlywiki on GitHub. I assume that would be easiest for merging the docs back into the actual tiddlywiki.com. If we cant use that, then the github repository itself has a "wiki" feature we could work off of.
