Don't let the *awesome* become the enemy of the *real*.

TW wasn't meant to be a robust, multi-user wiki. There are plenty of Wiki's 
out there whose developers have years of experience with the concerns and 
perils of creating web-ready wiki applications. Chasing after TW-based 
solutions is a rabbit hole that we don't have to go down just because the 
idea is neat. We already know that TW has problems scaling, so if the idea 
is to provide a massive index to TW solutions, wouldn't it be better to use 
a tool made for the job?

It doesn't take away from the utility of TW just because it's not the best 
choice for some other job.

Consider that all the code for TW is kept on GitHub. Hey! Wouldn't it be 
neat to store it all inside a TW file! Just add version control, multi-user 
configuration, and you're done! Who needs GH!

By sanctioned, it's like you said -- Jeremy has to approve it and provide 
direction to it prominently at TiddlyWiki.com.
