IMO French is great for words that evoke aspects of creative endeavour with
more than mechanical resonance. That hint at scope rather than at
description. Its unfortunate that "foule" ("crowd" / "a variety of things")
can't work in English because the look of it and sound of it. But many
superb French words do work in English too.
I commented before that "Bricolage" & "Bricoleur" (roughly = "DIY" &
"DIY-er", though in French it has much deeper resonances) are a very good
fit for what TW is in general. In some cases "Glanant" & "Glaneur" (gleaner
& gleaning) also applies.
In general, to avoid the issues of descriptive "blobs" in English, one can
often use activity rather than statis -- so its not TW, its TW-ing. You get
the idea?
I'll write separately about how I myself think about "Multi-user" et al.
Just thoughts
Josiah
