I was slightly puzzled about jQuery/TiddlyWiki duality of a "plugin"
here,
so spoke to Martin and Fred. Our conclusion was a plugin maybe:
1) an existing or new jQuery plugin may be included into TiddlyWiki as-
is.
this is somewhat akin to including a .js file in your recipe, as per
settings.js at the moment.
2) a jQuery plugin may depend upon TiddlyWiki symbols, in which case it
can't be used in jQuery outside of TiddlyWiki
3) it /may/ be possible to write a TiddlyWiki plugin which provides
jQuery functionality and optionally TiddlyWiki macros etc, by
detecting if TiddlyWiki is present. Such plugins could be used
in both environments.
I'd note:
a) Fred had an adverse reaction to (3) but it's possible, and
may in the end be a matter of style how people elect to structure
their plugins.
b) I'm aware Martin, Fred, Phil and Jeremy are discussing jQuery plugins
as I type, and I'd expect one of them to post their conclusions here!
