While pondering over how to interpret this I realized I have this basic question: With a public TW based on "TW on node.js", or Bob, is it possible *for a visitor* to access individual tiddlers (.tid files) or is the output always an "integrated" wiki? I mean, can somehow individual tiddlers (or sets of tiddlers) be extracted directly from where they are served? I believe the now defunct Tiddly*Space* (based on TiddlyWeb) featured this, right? If this single tid extraction is possible then this would of course speed up fetching. Considering how Bob can convert single file TWs into individual tiddlers then this would in deed be very exciting! For anyone reading this who is not familiar with TWederation: While the basic "federated wiki" idea is to allow individual wikis to fetch tiddlers from other peoples wikis, one additional idea - at least in TWederation - is to have a central server hosting a directory over all public wikis (as reported by the wiki owner or by anyone else). The server frequently roams all connected wikis for updates and can potentially fetch these updates and serve them on the server. The public directory also lets users directly find TWs to "subscribe" to directly, i.e without going via the server. The server could also function as what you see on the current TWederation tiddlyspot, i.e as a hub for e.g discussions - or for any of the bullets listed in the OP. I am not sure if this counts as a basic implementation because it requires > an external server and setting up SSL, but with the server in place we > should be able to make plugins that let single file wikis connect to this > server (or other servers running similar code) as a method of sharing > tiddlers natively. > Well, if it enables "sharing of tiddlers" then maybe there is no need - or at least much less need - for what I refer to as the basic implementation.

If the code is public (...and I guess somewhat documented/commented) then maybe others could fiddle with it...? <:-) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWikiDev" group.
