I agree! This would be most interesting for a hackathon. If you have any concrete ideas on how MediaWiki and TiddlyWiki could help each other it would be worth putting this down in words on this mailing list and in the TiddlyWiki group [1] if only to see if there is interest there. It's a very friendly community, and I must say I've seen very little trolling there and lots of enthusiasm in my time :-)
There has certainly been interest and attempts in the past to download mediawiki into TiddlyWiki's. You may be interested in MediaWikiUnplugged [2] which was the result of a hack day several years ago to allow you to take MediaWiki's offline to read in internet hostile environments such as planes/holidays/desert islands. It is quite old and seems to have broken (on first glance this seems due to cross domain origin ajax requests) but it might be of interest if you are interested in exploring the plugins it uses. There are also various MediaWiki plugins out there most notably MediaWiki adaptors [3] out there that change TiddlyWiki to use MediaWiki's syntax.
Hope this helps. Interested to see if anything comes out of this!

This is a great initiative. I wonder if this would be something worth working on in one of the upcoming hackathons. There is one in Berline in March; if there was a group that would be interested in working specifically on this and can go that could be really cool!
There is also a hackathon before Wikimania every year; that might be a little more realistic timeframe :)

Hi Adam,
I've been using Tiddlywiki (http://www.tiddlywiki.com) to have a local personal wiki of my own. Its biggest advantage is that the whole thing is in 1 single HTML file which you can take around with you. It has all the wiki syntax, custom html formatting between <html></html> tags, search, automatic backup/save, tags... a lot of features. It's editable on Firefox and in browsers where it's not editable, it's at least viewable.
It can't embed images into itself, but can display and link to local files which you store in the same folder or subfolder etc. Check it out. Maybe we can mix the technologies or import one to the other.

Hello, If I can re-open this thread, I am very interested in moving towards a read-write offline platform. After helpful feedback from people in this community, I have decided to start two wikis in the hope of a collaborative implementation, (content transcluded below)
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Offline_Projects/Offline_Editorship http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Offline/Wiki
==============
Motivation
Offline reader software packages lack the ability to edit. The wiki concept should not be abandoned even in this seemingly marginal use case. Collaboration becomes possible from any remote situation, really interesting applications include a small community's school contributing back to Wikipedia, or scientists who use a wiki to coordinate their work.
Strategies
Note that these approache are exclusive.
- Browser-based editing saves to an HTML5 cache
- Alternative to mediawiki page rendering
- Edit mode for Kiwix
