As I use TW without contributors, I've removed 'username' from the
view template. Actually, I dropped the entire 'subtitle' line.

I bring this up because a number of core features feel like they could
be plugins. Food for thought. Maybe it could help the core
development.

Hmm. Food for thought.

Can you suggest how it affects the core?

The issue of reducing the TiddlyWiki core to a micro-kernel has been
discussed a number of times, but it's not a trivial issue due to various
cross-dependencies.

Having said that, we do expect that some of this will come naturally
with the planned large-scale refactoring after the jQuery integration
(release 2.5).
If you have any suggestions as to which components should be considered
or want to contribute, we'd be happy to get you involved.

This particular preference is unlikely to result in core changes, as
things like author (modifier) and timestamp (modified/created) are
essential components of the tiddler concept.
Whether and how you use or expose those fields is up to you, of course.

Animations can be moved out of the core.

I'd love to contribute. Right now I'm struggling to keep my head
above water. I'll continue to visit the group and if I get
inspiration, I'll add my 2 cents.

I believe the jQuery integration will lead to quite a bit of refactoring
in that area, as jQuery comes with its own animation engine already.

I know the feeling - you're always welcome to jump in, of course!
