Leveraging jQuery and jQuery plugins in TiddlyWiki
The recent release of TiddlyWiki v2.5 included something rather exciting for me: jQuery, the popular Javascript library is now part of the TiddlyWiki core.

Once upon a time I was resistant to the idea of Javascript libraries. That was due to a couple of things. Firstly, I was comfortable with writing the Javascript for my projects myself and didn’t like the idea of relying on someone else’s code which I couldn’t easily inspect. Secondly, at the time there weren’t really any libraries. Then there were a few, but they were all, well, to be blunt, a bit pants.
Yesterday I was fortunate to be able to make the quick trip over to Paris to attend a meeting of TiddlyWiki enthusiasts at TiddlyParis. Arranged by long time TiddlyWiki community member and Una Mesa stalwart Saq Imtiaz, this event was a great chance to put some faces to the names of some of the TiddlyWiki developers and users whose work I have been enjoying and benefitting from for some time.
After a bit of a hiatus, I’ve recently been concentrating on developing my pet project, teamtasks again. Teamtasks is a simple application built using TiddlyWiki to provide a place to manage your tasks alongside other content in your very own personal wiki.
Recently, we at Osmosoft have been trying to make good on one of our pledges: To introduce a unit testing framework to Tiddlywiki development.
