Saq, Well, I not one person that uses streams every day, Me. I am also continuing to extends its features with my own tools.
The big boost to my use was discovering how much I can make us of drag and drop in both Streams and Projectify. This has changed my everyday use of tiddlywiki. I also see Streams as a source of ideas to develop even more general tools. I will volunteer for anything to do with streams, but yes I have to manage the rest of my life, but if you are happy if sometimes I make take time to get around to something count me in.
