I assure you we are very aware of how difficult it is to find what has and 
hasn't been done and how difficult a task it is to start using the more 
interesting parts of tiddlywiki. I am mostly in charge of maintaining the 
list of plugins used by the community search site and I don't know a lot of 
what has been made or is being worked on. Most of the development work is 
taken up by improving the core so that as a basic standalone wiki 
tiddlywiki works well. Unfortunately since this is an open project and 
there is no dedicated staff being paid for development everything is 
limited to what we are interested in making in our spare time. 
One result of this is, to use myself as an example, that when I make 
something interesting I tend to make only enough documentation so that I 
can use it and then I don't worry about it anymore. There are plenty of 
other people who do the same thing so over all documentation is lacking. 
That is why I started the wiki reference wiki 
<http://inmysocks.tiddlyspot.com> but that is done in my spare time instead 
of working on any of my other projects that I generally find more 
interesting. The problem only gets bigger when you add the other authors 
who make plugins that I try to list because they need to make the plugins, 
then they need to host them somewhere, then I need to know they made the 
plugin and then I need to find the time to create the entry on my site then 
Erwan needs to find the time to update his site so that the community 
search has the correct list.
Me and Erwan have been in contact with each other about this and every so 
often some plugin authors will contact me, but for all of us this is 
secondary to the development itself. We have no dedicated organizer or 
logistics person so that side of things only gets done when someone who is 
working on development decides to take a break and spend time on it.
I am working on some things that will make it much easier for someone to 
develop a plugin and then send me the information to list it, but that is 
one of many projects I am working on.

This isn't to complain, just to explain why things are the way they are. 
Until we get some more people working on it (hopefully some who are 
dedicated organizers) progress is going to be slow.
