Mat,

This idea has merit, and it has being discussed previously. The Start to 
understanding this 
is 
https://tiddlywiki.com/#Installing%20a%20plugin%20from%20the%20plugin%20library
I believe others have built their own libraries.

and related information includes

   - The system tag <https://tiddlywiki.com/#SystemTags> 
   $:/tags/PluginLibrary marks the plugin library
   - WidgetMessage: tm-load-plugin-from-library

 And you can download https://tiddlywiki.com/library/v5.1.11/index.html to 
see what it looks like inside a plugin library.

One thing that loading plugins does is force a save and reload, which 
regular tiddlers and bundles often do not. So if the library mechanisium is 
extended beyond plugins this should make this "import" occur silently on a 
click. Because of the WidgetMessage: tm-load-plugin-from-library can be 
used in an action widget we should be able to use it in startup actions and 
according to other triggers, one trigger that would be great is on a change 
in date stamp on the library file.

Perhaps we could have tiddler Libraries in addition to plugin libraries.

The corollary is saving or exporting to the library file, I would be nice 
if on a trigger we can save a filtered list of tiddlers to a named library 
file, and where a save mechanism is available use that, for example if I 
could authorise my Wiki on top of tw-reciever (PHP saver) to save to 
"library name", or at worst resort to the download saver (undesirable).

I as yet do not know how to hack the plugins from library method  as I do 
the interactive import function, I do not know how to intervene and choose 
to add a prefix to imported tiddlers and other selective processing. 
However with a controlled export to a library we can manage around this.

*Perhaps some of our team mates can throw some light on this. With a little 
help we could possibly hack together a solution that may demonstrate its 
value.*

Regards
Tony
