Mat, I am keen on the issue you raised in the Original thread.
I do apologize for "running off". Initially I was just providing you with information you may not have, but because I am exploring this and related technologies. I suppose I want to put it out there. However I get the distinct feeling I am been ignored to some extent. I suppose it is hard for people to understand my insight and skills, when I can't speak javascript and tiddlywiki internals yet. If it is any relief you have sent me down a very productive path. I can already fetch tiddlers from other wikis with import - rather than specify a local file, you provide a url to a wiki, url to a json etc... you then receive the import prompt and have to select the tiddlers. I have even customised the import process in the past for selective imports based on search/selection parameters. I am working at simplifying this, maybe even making it silent. Once done that is is only a matter of cataloguing what is available at what location. I recently discovered some seriously useful hacks in relation to saving out of tiddlywiki, perhaps to build and import the aforementioned libraries, but I will not run off again. The key targets of mine; - Multi-user version of single file wikis (Requires a reliable check in an check out for serial editing) - My own federation processes *I would love to understand what went before but I have not found any clear descriptions of the state of play.* - If I can federate single file wikis then I am on a winner because we can build a large network of federated wikis, more than with server only. There are opportunities hidden between what is known, My attempt to engage others, results in a lot of "can't be done messages" but my IT and systems skills are telling me that "we can". It looks like my destiny is to do it myself, its just taking longer than if people could understand my ideas, and jump on the band wagon.
