[edit] Goal
- central index of TiddlyWiki plugins for improved discoverability of third-party functionality
The term "Plugin Library" is potentially misleading because the system harnesses the decentralized landscape of plugin repositories rather than acting as a central (re)distribution system.
A variety of alternative names have been suggested - e.g. Plugin Index, Plugin Directory or Plugin Hub.
Currently, the TiddlyWiki Plugin Library is named TiddlyHub serving as a automatically generated and searchable listing of TiddlyWiki plugins. It is being developed and supported by Saq Imtiaz [1][edit] Aggregation
- periodical updates [not yet implemented]
- manually maintained list of plugin authors' repositories
- hosted TiddlyWiki documents
- Subversion repositories
- systemConfig tiddlers /
.jsfiles (systemConfig; actual execution can be prevented withsystemConfigDisable) - black- and whitelisting
- Subversion directories: excludeLibrary.txt or includeLibrary.txt (supports wildcards)
