I would like to add something here and I hope I may be able to state it
clearly.
- We can already effectively store and share tiddlers and groups of
tiddlers, we can drag and drop, import and export.
- It seems to me this thread is considering the "Ultimate" integrated
transfer or subscription process" when 98% of what is required already
exists.
- I am all for the ultimate solution but this is to me putting the cart
before the horse,
- In building my own tiddlyWiki network, to share and distribute plugins
and other wikis I have used existing tools to do this
It seems to me that a large part of this solution can occur at the wiki
implementation level, without plugins or core changes.
Of course my implementation has limits but actually there are a few
features that would allow it to become a full solution. Here is a non
exhaustive list of the top of my head.
- At TiddlyWiki load time checking for the existence of a named file
such as a Json file and importing it,
- Use file time stamps to avoid doing it more than once until it
changes.
- Provide a logout or exit process, or within the save process to export
a json file with selected tiddler once a tiddler changes.
- Mark tiddlers as owned by a specific wiki, and allow edit in that wiki
and avoid edit in other wikis.
- This entails a method to register wikis
- Using iframe embedding external wikis, works well to open a window and
permit drag drop of tiddler such as plugtins between TiddlyWikis
- This however requires selecting import in the destination wiki
- Or still seeing the side bar etc.. when displaying a foreign tiddler
- Providing a way to open a Wiki with the focus on a single tiddler
would help here.
Each of these features should be fairly easy to implement
If we then combined the above with a set of practices or plugin support
people could then build loosely coupled networks of wikis with shared
tiddlers.
In conclusion, a lot could be done in the implementation space with support
from a few tools. This can then be extended with features in platforms such
as Node, Bob to build highly scale-able tiddler distribution hubs.

Tony
