TonyM, to save you time I'll say this:

Expecting people to go to *some other web-address*, be it to some forum or 
a wiki, will not work. All attempts have failed, and there have been many 
over the past 10+ years. IMO people go here and to tiddlywiki.com. 

The most promising strategy I can think of is something that works from *within 
the users own TW*. That way it is always accessible and it is probably 
right there when the issue comes up. 

The optimal solution would be TWederation which I will not describe here 
but which has been extensively discussed... and promoted as a solution to 
documentation and much more.

Another, less ambitious idea could be a TW-plugin that lets the user access 
and participate in a semi-public folder on someones Google Drive or similar.

For example, the plugin could(!) be a single tiddler showing:

* a simple iframe showing a shared Google Docs folder. 
* a button that creates new tiddlers from a template. This shows (in view 
mode) a link-field where the user inserts the url to an actual google 
document. Below this is an iframe that shows this document. And this 
tiddler is tagged e.g "doc".
* the plugin tiddler with the iframe also has a list of all tiddlers tagged 
"docs"

The user-inserted url is either to a shared google doc in his/her personal 
account or it is to one of the docs found in that shared folder. Sharing 
your own google doc requires a google account but reading and editing(!) a 
public document does NOT require a google account!!!

One more thing:
ANY solution that is not part of the standard TW distro or at least 
prominently advertised on tiddlywiki.com must be actively promoted! By 
"prominently advertised" I mean permanently seen in the default tiddlers! - 
not hidden among the other user contributions. So if not prominently 
advertised, it would have to be brought up again and again here in the GG. 
The powerful advantage with the plugin idea (or TWederation) is that it is 
*within 
the users own TW *so once you have, you have it. The promo is then about 
new people getting the plugin which is probably even a bit fun.
