Hi Chris, before i start climbing a potentially steep learning curve;
Is this flavour of TiddlyWeb going to be the standard one? In conversation with Jeremy, I picked up that relational databases along with hierarchies we not his favourite concepts. Being a TiddlyFan, I am wondering (without any knowledge - which perhaps is a paradox?) if I should get into relational databases if TiddlyWeb and all things generally are in the anti relational camp. Jeremy also put me on to Ted Nelson's zzSturucture [1]. I don't want to become too focused on a particular tehcnology if it may be a sunk cost in the near future. Basically I want to run the coolest TiddlyWeb, not the most corporate friendly.
