Indeed I no longer edit documentation within the browser, I edit them with my preferred text editor. The documentation is indeed not up to date. But it is still using the wiki syntax, we don't actually write all HTML tags by hand. And the html preview of the source file is still working. I don't mind changing a little bit of tools for the doc and the site. For the little test I did, TiddlyFox didn't work on my Mac. So it seems that using TiddlyFox won't help for me. But it won't make things worst either. So no objection.
