The writer might not be a TiddlyWiki devotee/expert. He/she might need to draw 
on the expertise of one or more people who are. 

[Very likely, it seems. If there was someone with both competencies surely by 
now we would have seen evidence of it, e.g., in the form of book?]

Yes, especially if, as seems to be the case, no one with the ability has 
offered to do the job out of pure love for TW.

More fundamentally, not, "Who would benefit from that type of documentation?" 
but, "Who would want to use an application like that?" Your suggestion of 
presenting stories of interesting applications ought to address that question.
