 Yes, it hurts. As a noob in tiddly world I can say that the lack of
 well-structured, complete resource is really discouraging.
 There seems to be a huge gap in the spectrum of tiddly-related
 information. On one side there's quite a lot of basic introductions
 available (with giffmex on top of them).
 On the other hand there are myriads of granularised bits of useful
 information. However it's hard to find a resource helping to travel from
 one side to the other :)

There sure are hurdles and advanced features in TiddlySpace for those
that have so far only used a classical TiddlyWiki or perhaps a
TiddlySpot to have it hosted and uploadable via your browser.

However, your style example does not seem a good one to speak of
barriers. It's always been best practise throughout the web and not
just TW to use StyleSheets for abstract, reused styles.

I do understand the reluctance that comes with editing or changing
stuff in a collaborative environment. In that respect, the TiddlyWiki
space for example indeed does come with way too much noise that one
doesn't want to mess with unless one knows how and why exactly.

 I registered with tiddlyspace, I can login to the wiki, but there is no
 edit link, and if I click on 'Reply', I end up back at my base tiddlyspace

 It seems pointless creating a 'Doc note' when all I want to do is simplify
 an existing tiddler.
 I am sure it all makes sense to someone who has been there done that since

As others have stated, this used to exist, and it was not well
maintained. It was also spammy and people complained about it not
being a tidldywiki, so it was moved, as tiddlywiki.org, to be hosted
on tiddlyspace.com.

 Both Google Groups and the friendly on-line TWs (I mean stellar
 resources such as giffmex and tiddlytools) fail on many of these
 needs.  TiddlySpace also fails, though on very different points.

As one the devs and admins of TiddlySpace, it would be useful if you
could report how you see TiddlySpace failing (perhaps in a different
thread) . We want to constantly improve it.

What's happening is that when you create a tiddlyspace user, that logs
you into the tiddlyspace.com domain, you still need to log into the
tiddlywiki.org domain in order for the wiki to be editable. This
should probably be clarified in the Welcome tiddler.

I say keep with Google Groups
- just noticed that the web version now has a new view, has Google +1.
It might be a way of exporting and collation good posts (like all of

Hi Smandoli

tiddlywiki.org one was hosted on a MediaWiki:
http://oldwiki.tiddlywiki.org/wiki/Main_Page

Now it is hosted on TiddlySpace.com :
http://tiddlywiki.org/

You are invited to contribute to the collection of information already
present
either by migrating stuff from the old wiki to the new wiki - or
simply by creating your own spaces
and use the tools TiddlySpace offer, to collect information from every
public tiddler avaible on tiddlyspace.com ...

I've made my own testTiddlySpace where I organize things in a way that
I can maintain via a small collection of *very* powerfull tiddlyspace
specific tools and develop in any direction I want -

I'm using the tscan macro's search feature
here:
http://apps.tiddlyspace.gir.dk
http://plugins.tiddlyspace.gir.dk

and collect them here
http://samlinger.tiddlyspace.gir.dk/

and here:
http://tiddlyspace.gir.dk/

@tobias made some of his own listings for tiddlyspace.com plugins
here:

http://showroom.tiddlyspace.com/#Plugins

@pmario has used the tscan macro for different social tools:
iexample: http://news.tiddlyspace.com/

 * Ability to flexibly control presentation for clarity
 * Community ownership (thus content moderation)
 * Participation by outer community
 * Topic-driven organization and navigation

 Both Google Groups and the friendly on-line TWs (I mean stellar
 resources such as giffmex and tiddlytools) fail on many of these
 needs.  TiddlySpace also fails, though on very different points.

 The answer possibly is a MediaWiki site, similar to 
 whathttp://senseis.xmp.net/
 gives players of the game of Go.  The Senseis site is helpful both as
 a reference for skilled players AND as an intro to raw beginners — and
 because of the latter quality, it effectively promotes the game of Go
 to the larger world.

 I said static or semi-static information to separate that from
 discussion. The Google Group is prolly better than a MediaWiki site
 for discussion (for example, I suspect it works well for
 TiddlyWikiDev).  Maybe this GG would remain useful for discussion.

 Managing TW information is challenging because variants and
 specializations and spin-offs and up-scales are being developed with
 speed and variety. (Not like Go from that point of view!)  This raises
 serious obstacles to investigation.  For example, I might spend time
 researching an answer that seems valuable, only to realize it's
 specific to TiddlySpace or twGTD or some such. A robust wiki will
 address this effectively, by (A) disambiguating (such a wiki word!)
 and (B) declaring the topical boundaries.  By that, I mean clearly
 defining what it does and doesn't try to address (and of course,
 referring the user to another resource for the latter).

 It's important to mention the point above, because success will
 require some planning and on-going moderation.  I think MediaWiki
 offers the tools to facilitate (A) and (B) above; but if they are
 neglected, the resource will fail under this challenge of complexity.
