I've been hacking on Tomboy lately trying to become familiar with the code. I'm hoping to be able to add some nice enhancements to it eventually.
Today, someone showed me a cool little utility called TiddlyWiki, which is essentially a self-contained wiki built-in to a single HTML file. You can keep notes in it just like you would in Tomboy, create subsections (just like you would in a normal wiki), and have them link together.
So, I figured, why not? I spent this afternoon hacking together a little plugin that exports Tomboy notes as a new TiddlyWiki page. It actually ends up working pretty nicely. My only fear is that people will like TiddlyWiki more than they like Tomboy.
Update: Here's the plugin in patch file format (apply to latest tomboy CVS): tomboy-tiddlywiki-plugin.patch

I've tried different things to patch the CVR but i can't really get it to work. Could you link to a guide, that shows me how to patch with the .patch file? I'm not very familiar with patching programs.
P.S.
I have already tried googling it, but after two hours of banging my head in to the keyboard I gave up.
Hang tight on this one. I hope to be able to integrate this feature directly into Tomboy in the future.
