I'm trying to get my company to use TiddlyWiki (NodeJS edition) for our corporate wiki/information sharing solution. There are two specific features that I feel like are supported but that I cannot find information on. That is Multi-User logins and Signing of Tiddlers. I was thinking of creating a plugin to link tiddly wiki with git, then once user's were signed in this plugin could provide the accountability aspect of our needs. However, I don't want to re-invent the wheel either. Can someone point me to the documentation for these features, if they exist, or confirm they don't?

>> Multi-User logins
TiddlyWiki is a single user wiki and has no multi-user capability. There is work on TWederation to add multi-user functionality but it is nowhere near corporate ready

>> Signing of Tiddlers
TiddlyWiki marks each Tiddler with the author who created and modified each tiddler but each user would have to edit the author field for the entire Wiki to set that for each user. Once again not corporate ready

I have tried to use TW5 in a similar manner and ran in to the same problems. it's not ideal, but a workaround do exist.

you can put filling of username and warnings on the front.

This takes care of signing. However there is no login, so everyone could be everyone.

And more importantly, if more than one person edit at the same time, you will end up overriding the file. A workaround for this could  be to have personal TW5 or TW5 for editing, work in them and then drag'n drop the tiddler to the main TW5 for import. But this require user education/discipline.

TW5 is so awesome so I wish there was a good way to use it with multiple users also. This way I would not only have the best personal knowledge system, but I could be a TW5 guru at my job and not going through the pain of stacks of pdf's or over complicated wiki systems.
