Mark, I have a different view on a number of the items you responded too, however my post was a little off topic in the first place I do not want to perpetuate this too much.

It is about what it enables more than depending on it for long term storage, and PWS's are challenging this perspective. Some of my own work to allow serial editing of single file wikis, check in check out and user management has a lot of promise, but it contains a number of innovative tricks I am yet to work through.

And by the way it is as good as or better for me than chrome already. Regards Tony -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
