Hi Diego, I am another keen user of both TW and SRS (mostly Anki). I want to thank you for your effort. I think a TW SRS solution is definitely something desirable.
As for AnWiki – I haven't given it try yet. It is partly because I find TW SRS integration desirable but not pressing (see below). But the main reason is that I thought AnWiki doesn't actually use a sophisticated SRS algorithm. Now I know it does (use SM-2) and I think it is important to underline for people more knowledgable of SRS. But this is not yet stated on anwiki.tiddlyspot.com. This changes things for me and I'll likely use AnWiki for at least some knowledge fields. It doesn't lend itself to more complicated solutions yet, e.g. I use complex language cards in Anki which allow me to quickly ass a word in target language, a word in my language, a sentence to test knowledge of the word in context via cloze, notes and audio. But vocabulary is also one domeain which probably doesn't need integration with a knowledge base/TW. As for relationship between information stored internally (brain) and externally (computer - TW). Like many others here, I try to integrate more and more things in TW. And I think it makes great sense to integrate various factoids and understanings, ship to SRS, hence memory, with TW. Because our memory, understanding and need for understanding is dynamic. I think this might become obvious over the long-term. It could be that several years from now one can remember the information via SRS but actually forget why she decided to store in memory in the first place or what other related stuff one has worked with before. Simple click (link) in TW could provide the answer. I guess ideally we would all have all our knowledge stored externally in the computer and a selection of that in our brains. If we have part there and part there, that is not desirable. Ok, ideally we would have alll in our heads but that is not possible. Actually that is how some people envision the future role of AI, as augumentation of ourselves, a super-responsive human-like "friend on the phone" who can help us only if he knows all we know (so he doesn't tell us what we don't need to hear) plus what we don't know.
