Hi Jeremy,
I don't have a clear understanding of all the parts in this process, but
if the/an aggregator can help at least for some of the parts I'd be
happy to give it a try.
I started recently using git with the CommunitySearch aggregator not
only to publish the standalone html file but also to track changes in
the content (one of the ideas is to be able to output statistics over
time, but nothing specific is implemented yet). As far as I can tell, it
seems to work: if you go to
https://github.com/erwanm/tw-community-search/tree/automatic/tw-community-search
you can see the diff corresponding the latest automatic update (the diff
is actually very big because the tag tiddlers are re-generated every
time, it's something I'll try to solve in the future).
So basically I think it's possible with an aggregator-like system to:
1) download a wiki "mydoc" from tiddlyspot
2) convert it to node.js
3) pull the official TW github repo (or maybe only the documentation
part, if possible)
4) replace the official TW tiddlers with the "mydocs" tiddlers
(including the ones left unchanged)
5) commit changes to the local git repo
I think that leaves us at least with the line-by-line diff, and maybe it
can be taken further by pushing these changes... but I don't know
where/how exactly, or how to deal with conflicts?
Issues that I can think of:
* how to transmit the name/address of the wiki to the aggregator?
* if the TW repo has changed since the revision uploaded to tiddlyspot,
the commit would revert these modifications. as far as I know, the only
way to avoid that is to know exactly which revision was used on the
tiddlyspot wiki, but I don't see how this is possible.
* I'm not sure what to do at the end: is it possible to send a github
pull request programmatically? or maybe the commit could be pushed to a
special repo or branch?
* modifications from several wikis can cause conflicts as well
(disclaimer: I'm familiar with git but no expert)
Regards
Erwan

Following up some recent discussions about making it easier for people
to contribute improvements to the documentation on tiddlywiki.com
<http://tiddlywiki.com>, I've been experimenting with a new edition
for documentation contributors:
http://tiddlywiki.com/prerelease/editions/tw5.com-docs/
It's based on a new plugin $:/plugins/tiddlywiki/tw5.com-docs that
contains all the documentation tiddlers from tiddlywiki.com
<http://tiddlywiki.com>. The advantage is that it's easier to tell
which tiddlers you've modified, and to revert to the original.
The idea is that a would-be contributor would clone this edition to
TiddlySpot (step-by-step instructions forthcoming), and then make
their changes, saving them back to TiddlySpot. I, or anyone else, can
fairly easily then pick up the wiki and extract the changed tiddlers
into a pull request.
One shortcoming at the moment is that TiddlyWiki gives a warning each
time you modify a shadow tiddler.
A desirable feature is the ability to see line-by-line diffs for the
changes, and perhaps to be able to easily export a JSON file of the
changed tiddlers.
Anyhow, feedback and questions are welcome,
Best wishes
Jeremy.
