Jed,

If you look at:

   - issues on github
   - long abandoned contributions/plugins dying slow deaths on google groups
   - experiences trying to get a new person to try TW

I'd say there is quite a bit of evidence of "barrier to entry" in many 
senses. 

Just as an example, look at:

   - all of the conversations Evan Balster had in this group, his plugin, 
   and this PR: https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/pull/3072
   - All of Tobias' 
   PR: https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/pulls/tobibeer

Both Evan and Tobias are "inactive" right now, and there is no clear plan 
on what to do with all of their excellent work. 

All I am saying is that a project like this, that we all love an 
appreciate, should be in the best possible position to take advantage of 
highly skilled people* giving limited amounts of time.*
