Hi Josiah,
Thanks for your thoughts, after seeing the initial progress on the proposal
and watching it since then, I have gotten the same feeling that this may be
hard to get off the ground. However, my feeling is that if we do get
through the proposal and get to Beta, I believe we will have enough foot
traffic that the site will stay running. If not we can always explore how
well stack Overflow would work for this.

As far as moderation, anyone with 10,000 reputation is basically a
moderator. This very strongly caters toward people that contribute to the
site a lot, would would almost always be people that work with tiddlywiki a
lot. During beta, I believe stackexchange employees are the moderators,
otherwise they will be elected by the community. And when I say 10,000
reputation, I mean on the tiddlywiki site not on all Sites. And the
election is also just for the tiddlywiki stackexchange, not for all of them.
Thanks,
-Arlen

Ciao Arlen

I have held off replying till I got a bit clearer. I have a few comments 
now ...

1 - *IF it can be got to work I think it would really help*. The 
questioning system and upvoting on StackExchange looks *very good indeed*.

2 - My reservation is whether it will ever fruit. This is because ...

StackExchange is VERY hard to get up and running. Its because of the 
complex numbers game it insists on, in some ways for good reasons. But is, 
maybe in OUR case, a bit of a barrier. 

I think it disadvantages small groups like this in us not being able to 
form the necessary leverage in a timely fashion.

I am sceptical there are ENOUGH active users here who ALSO want to go for 
it to get it over the needed edge???

Perhaps LONG TERM? I note that some StackExchange groups take a couple of 
years to form viably.

3 - Finally, I have reservations about moderation. Perhaps paranoid. But as 
far as I understand it, people who have no experience of TiddlyWiki could 
end up involved in moderating the group?

Best wishes
Josiah
