I was separating the TiddlyWiki as a setup of plugins, themes, languages, 
etc... from the actual content it is to contain, eventually, which at some 
point better be something else than just "TiddlyWiki"... e.g. my tasks, my 
notes, my project, my references, my bookmarks...

To go one step further, I'd rather see something like different "bags"...

Not necessarily folders, I was actually even thinking of a setup with 
possibly a number of different servers to talk to. But folders would also 
be interesting, although sharing the same server configuration... and thus 
more appropriately what in TiddlyWeb are bags. But yes, I was indeed 
talking of even tieing different servers together in one 
multi-server-capable-sync module.

I wasn't (yet) talking of anything automated, just as simple side by side 
view and manual editing :)

However, having that "TiddlyWiki" be the master seems counter-intuitive to

:) I see how you wish to just work offline, go back online and do some 
syncing, updating, merging. However, I was thinking in terms of not storing 
the entire wiki but only that which is considered actual content... not 
setup stuff, like themes or plugins or whatever... although, you could do 
that but it would just clutter the content with setup stuff. Of course, 
content can be tied to plugins, but that would mean that you'd have to 
install those plugins into every TiddlyWiki that is to pull that content 
from server(s)... and that's not always practical. For example, you could 
have some slim mobile client that poorly handles plugins x y and z, so 
you'd chose a slimmed down version of TiddlyWiki and, however, that magic 
multi-server-sync-adapter... which also allows you to simply edit 
offline... but in a simplified, a different setup.

Another workflow could be to have a presentational wiki be readonly and 
using the server-sync-adapter only to actually pull content (full, not 
lazy) ...while you'd have an editing environment with plugins and other 
tools to actually create the content that is going to be available on your 
presentational wiki once synced to the server.

Best wishes, Tobias.
