Further ideas

Perhaps a mechanism to save a filtered set of tiddlers from memory or local 
storage to a filename based on user ID (in the file folder, or on the 
server) and looking for this file on load/login to restore said tiddlers 
would help with multiple users working on top of a served wiki. It would 
add a persistent alternative to local storage, by using actual storage.

If additional export/load files where possible it would be easy to build 
wikis which;

   - Can interrogate a server for check in and check out status
   -  A master wiki mode where the "owner" could load user tiddlers and 
   selectively incorporate them into the master wiki. 
   - Build a messaging system between multiple Wikis by loading a library 
   of message tiddlers from other users or wikis, and writing responses back 
   to the current users messages library.

Tony
