Hi Jeremy I will certainly advertise Tiddlywiki. One thing I am not entirely clear about myself and this is going to come up in discussions with others is the reasoning behind the differences between Tiddlywiki5 markup and other versions of, most notably standard Markdown or Multimarkdown, which combined may have the biggest following these days. Note that I am not suggesting to adopt other markup systems used elsewhere, I am just not in a position to do so but it would help to understand what advantages if any would spring from learning yet another flavour of markup or if these are just alternative and exchangeable realizations of plain-text markup.
Regarding the syncing with owncloud: What you describe is precisely what I am doing and it works. The occasional error messages on the ipad can be ignored it seems but more problematic is the fact that on still has be absolutely clear on where the most recent version of one's TW5 wiki resides at any one moment. Opening the wrong one will overwrite previous changes and additions elsewhere no matter if the same tiddlers were altered on both sides or different ones, it is all or nothing. Therefore, if the granularity of the sync process could be finer, say on the level of individual tiddlers, that would reduce the possibilities of data loss greatly. But I don't know if the amount of coding necessary to achieve this would be even feasible and sadly, not being a programmer, I cannot contribute myself. There are many options out there and I realize that not all of them can be accounted for.
