Hi! I was just checking out the beta and I noticed that dates seem to be all out of whack. For example, http://tiddlywiki.com/beta/#PersistentOptions shows date modified 20 December 2010 and http://tiddlywiki.com/beta/#HelloThere shows date modified 15 December 2008 (possible, but unlikely, considering the content).
