I have been thinking about that recently, and have a tentative plan to build a 
new https://market.tiddlywiki.com/ <https://market.tiddlywiki.com/> site that 
would consist of classified listings of services offered and services wanted. 
I’d be inclined to focus on the “sell” side first, making a storefront for 
people/organisations to offer their services.

Just like links.tiddlywiki.com <http://links.tiddlywiki.com/>, the idea is that 
each seller would register the URL of a TiddlyWiki that contains the details of 
their offering. The system would scrape the individual sites at regular 
intervals and aggregate together the information into a single site.

Site visitors would see a page listing all of the sellers, and be able to click 
through to see a page with the full details of a seller. We could reuse the 
tagging and search from links.tiddlywiki.com <http://links.tiddlywiki.com/>.

Some of the information that would be useful to bring together:

* Name
* Logo
* Site URL
* Services offered (again, we’d need to evolve a set of standard tags for this)
* Timezone
* Languages spoken/written
* Areas of specialisation
* Links to past work
* Case studies
* Some measure of the contributions made to the TiddlyWiki core
* Some measure of the contributions made to the TiddlyWiki discussion forums
* Perhaps a country of operations for legal purposes

I think we could get something along those lines up and running fairly quickly, 
and then could evolve it be something more dynamic that could incorporate user 
feedback.

The Drupal project maintains a marketplace site along the lines I’m describing:

https://www.drupal.org/drupal-services <https://www.drupal.org/drupal-services>

Best wishes

Jeremy.
