Yeah, I linked to that in the Space GettingStarted tiddler ;-)

Yeah, I don't like the inline JavaScript, and that may not be
appropriate for TiddlySpace.

It's a problem in general to keep such things up to date. I have a
similar issues with TiddlyProcessing. At least we can use the space to
save people having to update their own copies.

Oh, I wonder if in our case we should allow people to include a
version of a space. Of course they can hit a revision of the tiddler
via the URI:

http://raphaeljs.tiddlyspace.com/bags/raphaeljs_public/tiddlers/raphaeljs.js/revisions

Yes, I'd encourage you to do that as your plugin is complementary to
the one on TiddlySpace.

Best!
