Every information/documentation system has an entry point. I think that
here everything starts with TiddlyWiki.com. So once the StackExchange site
is in beta we can put that on TiddlyWiki.com.
People find the other resources through that most likely, as well as
through Google perhaps. Group users do a lot of stuff with the group, and
the main complaint is that there is no way to keep old content accessible.
A StackExchange site will probably take care of the technical questions.
Your PBWorks site is useful, though. Many people compile lists of
information in different ways and different people like different ways, so
more regular TiddlyWiki users may use your list to find resources.
TiddlyWiki on Stack Overflow is not used because no one has been monitoring
it or pointing to it. However, if we create a StackExchange site, it will
become used a lot, because we'll start sending people over there with their
questions.
I don't think we will get too scattered. This is reminding me of a swarm of
honeybees. When they swarm, most of them will go find a tree and sit there
while the scouts go out and decide where to make their new home. Then the
scouts come back and talk to each other and keep going back and forth till
they decide. Then they all go to the new place.
In the same way, any solution we find is going to be community driven, so
if it doesn't take we'll all come back here and regroup. People generally
like cohesiveness, so we will probably find ways to make it work. Most of
the discussion here is just exploring different options. Even the
StackExchange proposal is part of that discussion.

3b - StackExchange/Overflow initiative that Arlen is advancing covers some
of the same territory as 3a. The difference between Reddit & StackOverflow,
as far as I grasp it, is it is a bit more orientated to technical
specificity than Reddit. Supporting supplementary wikis looks a bit more
difficult. Getting people involved requires numbers. The barriers to full
entry look kinda high, though it would register real commitment if
achieved. Arlen will correct me if I am wrong (please).
I think that a StackExchange site will have a fairly strong amount of
support. Wiki info may be difficult. WikiBooks or Reddit may be a very
useful answer. There is a documentation feature on Stack Overflow that may
be available on other sites. We could use it as a starting point.
I don't think that the entry requirements are very formidable given the
size of our Google Group. Once we get to beta we will find out, though.
Even if we don't end up with a StackExchange site, we could consider using
the tag on Stack Overflow.

I'm supporting a proposal to create a new Q&A website for anyone who uses
TiddlyWiki, and anyone who develops for TiddlyWiki.
It's built on the same software as stackoverflow.com, a hugely popular site
where over seven million programmers help each other with difficult
programming problems. On Stack Overflow the audience votes for the best
answer, so the answer you want is usually right at the top, not on page
five.
I'm hoping that a site for anyone who uses TiddlyWiki, and anyone who
develops for TiddlyWiki would have the same kind of network effect and turn
into an amazing resource.
The proposal process is going on here:
