A link checker for TW5 would be a useful thing. I don't know if it's any
longer going to be practical to do it in the browser, though - most
browsers now enforce the same domain origin policy, which means that it
would only be possible to check links within the same domain as the
tiddlywiki file. I'm not sure how the same domain origin policy is applied
by IE within the Intranet zone.

I've been thinking about link checking as part of a more ambitious suite of
features concerned with linking. The idea is to (optionally) represent
external links with a proxy tiddler that incorporates the link itself, and
also a thumbnail image, and a snippet of text. Then the link checking part
could record the status of the link target within the tiddler itself
(perhaps with a "date last successfully retrieved" field). The code to link
checking and thumbnailing would have to run under node.js - although there
may be scope to migrate some of those functions to a browser extension of
some kind.

Best wishes

Jeremy
