As a previous reader, I'm happy to see this new iteration of your wiki that I stumble upon while revisiting SmalltalkNeedsANewUI. I was looking for a place to do comments on your Wiki/Bliki but found no want, so I will use this place to ask for them, as a feature request or a more explicit feature in case is already included. Also, I will make some comments here or via hypothesis, while we have the feature.

I have similar explorations to the ones present in ThoughtStorms, in what I call now "interpersonal wikis" which, in contrast with Small Federated Wikis are more related with the socio-technical aspects of wikis, knowledge and communities and use TiddlyWiki as a front end, Pharo/GT Smalltalk as a middleware and Fossil SCM as a back-end. Well, they expand in both axes, in the sense that they provide UI, logic and storage, for different intended audiences, as shown here:

The software that bride everything together is TiddlyWikiPharo and I use the Lepiter/GT notebook interface to develop it.

Documentation for the prototyping the Malleable Systems Wiki

My approach is to use "interstitial programming" trying to extend the sociotechnical systems from the frontiers connecting them, instead of from inside them. I think it has been an approach that has payoff at keeping incidental complexity at bay and Pharo/Lepiter have been important bridge building metatools in that sense, with TiddlyWikiPharo is one of the use cases among many projects powered by such approach.

I made more specific comments on the notebook GUI for Smalltalk, using Hypothesis.
