I'm not sure what you include as "tools we already have" but here <http://twaddle.tiddlyspot.com/#Different%20worlds>I describe two "cases" that I think are significant. When communication and fetching of tiddlers becomes possible, there can be shift to *content *among people (where a TW manual is one example). I think we'll see a number of high level setups (or "tools" fi you will) that can change things significantly. One such could be the equivalent to an app store with addons that have reviews and other user comments. This could minimize the "dispersal problem" for plugins we've suffered since TW inception. > The wikis involved in that process will each need to be hosted and visible > to the internet and they will each contain different material in total.

And, regarding "at the time of fetching"; since TW content is often pretty static (e.g just text or code) it is not necessary to have it visible all the time, only enough for it to be fetched by someone else at some point if it can then be accessible via that new place. Much of it relies on a continued "sharing spirit". <:-) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
