I can add to that list with my criteria:
v) New host must be reliable and maintained (I don't want any
downtime!)
vi) Access to revisions
vii) Running latest version of TiddlyWiki at all times - important for
the "this is a tiddlywiki thing". If we are going to run something
which is an old version of TiddlyWiki, to me it defeats the point of
moving from MediaWiki
viii) An api / url for each individual tiddler so that the community
can make mash ups, run their own media wiki instance etc.. I don't
want a closed system where it's hard to get stuff out of.
ix) Pages should be downloadable so they can run offline - I might
want to download some documentation on a certain subject to use on the
train for example.
