Or some kind of collaboration between newbie and a TW master?

Over on the TiddlyDev someone (whatever I think) has offered payment
to encourage documentation. Perhaps documentation can develop this
way?

I hang about in a business school quite a bit. A question the types
that live there would be asking questions like: "Who would benefit
from the type of documentation you seek? What is the purpose in
attracting more users anyway? Where is the 'value'? Where is the
funding coming from?"
