Federation works, you can take the federation-core plugin and put it in a 
wiki and then you can fetch content from that wiki from other wikis that 
have the plugin.

TWederation also works. The problems it has now are mainly down to initial 
setup being poorly documented and how slow the interface is. I may need to 
steal some tricks from the list widget to improve the TOC widget I made to 
display the posts correctly so that the refresh cycle doesn't take so long.

So for the most part the interesting pieces (for me at least) of the 
problems have been solved and now it is down to improving and refining 
things. I get very bored doing things like this and without something to 
keep me interested I am probably never going to make any significant 
progress on it.

To review for those who don't know what any of this means:

Federation lets one wiki talk to another wiki. You can use this to share 
information among many different wikis with different users. Example: 
teacher makes a central wiki for a course and each student has their own 
wiki where they can take notes and do exercises. The teacher can add 
content or lessons to the central wiki and students would be able to just 
click on a button in their wiki to import the new lessons. The teacher 
could also have a (probably private) wiki where they can click a button to 
fetch the completed exercises from the students wikis.

TWederation is an application of Federation, at the moment it is something 
not unlike how you share posts on facebook or google+, it could also be 
used as something similar to the google groups discussion board. You can 
see it here <http://twederation.tiddlyspot.com/>. 

If you want to join you need to have a place to host your wiki, at the 
moment the easiest way is to use tiddlyspot. If you go to the twederation 
setup wiki here <http://ooktech.com/jed/ExampleWikis/TWederation/> and 
follow the setup wizard it has instructions for making a tiddlyspot wiki 
and setting everything up.
