Just one more variable here, in terms of whether and when to individuate TW 
instances: AUDIENCE

Many of my TW projects are already -- or may eventually be -- shared with a 
particular kind of audience (often students in a course, but not always). I 
have one catch-all wiki for all the personal project content that doesn't 
fit any of those baskets, and another for TW-related experimentation 
(plugins under evaluation, useful tidbits and how-tos, plus resources and 
links squirreled away for future exploration). 

For any audience other than myself, when the point is the content rather 
than the tool itself, I like to share a wiki that doesn't include too many 
unrelated tiddlers. (And often even the interface style wants to be 
different, and I do enjoy having different interface flavors as I shift 
from one domain to another on a given day.)

Of course, one might prefer to keep everything together, knowing it's 
possible to export a filtered set of tiddlers down the road. But when I 
already suspect that a body of ideas may be prime for sharing later, I 
start by setting up a tiddlyspot site for it (with an encryption password 
if need be). Then I can share a link to the site in a totally spontaneous 
way when I run into someone who would appreciate it.
