Hi Mat, I don't think the current technique of "fetching" content from stand-alone Wikis will work. This is because the Wikis using PouchDb are "hollow" -- they have no content. The content is in a separate database, either in a browser (which isn't accessible to the outside world) or in a CouchDb database. So the only way to post content would be to export/save the tiddlers outside of the Couched TW and then import them into a standalone Twederation TW. This would be a lot of hassle.
However, looking at Cloudant's documentation, they seem to be saying that it's possible to give world-readable rights to the database. This leaves open the possibility that a different pull mechanism, that pulled directly from a Couch database might be possible. I think it would require writing a plugin that combined features from both Jed's Twederation plugin and from Danielo's PouchDb plugin. I suppose that there would also be a new TwCard type that indicated what kind of TW was being fetched from and the address information for the database.
