Thanks for the responses! I'll take another look at TiddlyWeb when I get the chance because all of this sounds extremely useful. I guess my motivation for writing the plugin came after reading this: http://tiddlywiki.org/wiki/Can_I_use_TiddlyWiki_as_a_multi-user/collaborative/server_based_wiki%3F. I was under the impression that all the server-side options anchored tiddlywiki to a particular server/database setup. It seems that TiddlyWeb gives you the flexibility to store individual tiddlers on a server (without having to use a database) while letting you keep a standalone tiddlywiki html file with any number of the remote tiddlers stored locally inside it (unless I'm wrong about this).
