In another thread, fellow tiddleur Jan asked a question which gave me an idea:

Could a sidebar list, with seemingly regular title lists, really be a plugin library listing?

Clicking the tab is equal to opening the library and the listed titles are tiddlers that are not really in the wiki yet but clicking a title imports it!

...and would those tiddlers really even have to be tiddlers? For example could they be images or other file types that are importable to TW?

...and would this have to be called a Sidebrary?

<:-)

Hi dear fellow-tiddleurs ;-)
Thanks for triggering the very usefull next stage of the debate: How could we use this new possibility.
Of course the Idea of the sidebrary is very usefull.
My dream is to have an action-widget that I could integrate into a button together with a series of actions that I could at the same time import the new content and use it (If there is no .js involved).
Like loading a vocabularyset and starting a quiz with one click.

Yours Jan

I think that naming it anything other than Sidebrary would be irresponsible.

the answer to all the other questions should be yes, and I think that this could be a great idea.
