Hi Jeremy! Although this "ethics" site is a pretty utilitarian and lived-in space (not especially tidied-up for visitors), it certainly is an example of a tiddly-wiki that's been in regular use since 2008. Students don't edit (I have tried having students add materials in other classes, but found it too much effort to coach them through and/or clean up after them), but students can visit for study purposes, and I regularly pull up the site in class as a flexible (non-linear!) support for lecture-discussion. I have found sliders to be an effective way to include question prompts, solicit discussion, and then reveal my response and explanation.
In case you're curious about different ways that people link disparate tools: I actually generate my regular discussion questions (five-part questions with explanations for each response) in Filemaker (which also helps generate, randomize, and score my exams based on these questions), and then have a Filemaker formula seamlessly displaying the right tiddler text to work with NestedSlidersPlugin. Although the site is usually set to load with materials specific to the topics being studied in a given week, here's a landing-page that might work better for non-student visitors: http://ethics.tiddlyspot.com/#overview Cheers!
