I think ajax file access is not a problem at all, if the files are from the same origin or CORS is configured on the server. Local file IO is blocked. The only hope is, that FireFox OS needs more possibilities. So something may come up in the browser too. > > For example, I can imagine TiddlyWiki as a front-end for code > documentation whereas some plugin inside TW would crawl a source folder and > extract the documentation bits into a tiddler-representation. > That's what I did with ajaxLoadExternalFiles plugin. The only thing you can't do is, "crawl a source folder" since this is forbidden. Someone has to create a "known index" file, that contains a list of files the TW should load. So there needs to be an external / serverside mechanism that creates the "index". > For example, the TW5 codebase could have all the desired code > documentation in a well defined format preceding an object or function > declaration which would then be put together in a TiddlyWiki for > documentation purposes in terms of an API.
