Folks, I have being reluctant to reenter (and read everyone's detailed responses) this discussion, as it has being had many times. It is true there are a lot of good ideas but its like herding cats and always will be unless there were a clear leader as a replacement.
I tried to promote the use of Yammer which I believed to meet many of the requirements, but too few people tried it to see why I thought it was a good solution. Most people argue for the system they are already familiar with (as I was with Yammer having helped build a 45,000 person yammer network) but then do not look into other peoples suggestions. I have looked at a few that have being proposed, but reviewing them is in the dark with no clear set of requirements to measure them against. Going forward; 1. Build a list of requirements collaboratively 2. Build a comparison table (as per Matt) 3. Community Review fills out the table 4. If there are some outstanding solutions initiate some trials 5. Ask Jeremy to support any obvious solution If necessary set up a fund raising account to help if funding is necessary. Be carful seeking reviews from people that there are user and developer perspectives that can be different. *Finally:* Since it is taking us so long anyway perhaps we should embark on a developing tiddlywiki solution - "drink our own Champaign". In this way posts could include tiddlywiki code and other objects. This could fix some existing limitations of tiddlywiki.
