There has been discussion on irc and during our unit testing hackathon about formally documenting the core as a part of the jQuery refactoring, which could be used to generate javadoc like documentation, which could be useful, if nothing else to work out test coverage and what needs refactoring, however most developers get by with view-source, which isn't too bad given the size of TiddlyWiki. I did make a start on putting together a introductory developers' guide for TiddlyWiki, but didn't get as far I'd like, and now think that developing for TW is about to get a lot easier with the advances made by incorporating jQuery and thus simplify the guide .. My mention this is not intended to stop others writing documentation, and contributions made to http://tiddlywiki.org are always appreciated and could form the basis for other people, including myself, writing guides. As for "viral abuse" - there is a trust when you take a plugin it's from a good source, and addressing that as a social problem through a plugin repository would seem to me to be more rewarding than, say, building a trusted computing platform for plugins, no?
