Adam, It is exciting to hear we have someone with the interest and skills to contribute in this way. Keep in mind we have a lot of superusers here, like myself, who cant YET build such JS plugins, but we know how to do a lot of things using existing widgets, plugins and building macros. It is we who come across issues that tiddlywiki either does not handle or does not handle well. It would be great if you could socialise these with us, perhaps in the other google group, because you can then make a real difference. Looking through the Git hub issues will also detail many of these gaps.
Presently for example I have to use formulas or calc plugin just to increment a value in a field (even just by 1) if such a solution could be made and placed in the core or a small plugin it would I believe help a lot of people. I am sure I could generate a number of small, medium or large projects a budding developer could play with. Another source is features available in HTML that requires java-script to work, they can be found all over the internet, some a really cool, but they need a developer to translate them into Widgets and macros within tiddlywikis framework. Welcome, great to have you on the team.
