Alex, Well I can only judge by my own feelings. I like to help people when I can. I can't help much here, since I'm a newbie. But in other communities, I am more expert and can help.
I think the genius of TiddlyWiki engenders a lot of enthusiasm. It really is a small miracle of technology, isn't it. So flexible and portable at the same time. And of course the idea that it is a free product, with no commercial backers. That also contributes to the community spirit.
