Diego/Ed/Josiah , I think this thread is the only place to subscribe at this point. In my view we need to hear from a few others who have or can help integrate such documents with the tiddlywiki effort as a whole, it is best not to step on each others toes, however such waiting is often the death of such projects, so we must proceed regardless. As Ed points out Eric should really provide some guidance if possible, after all it is often he who produces answers of the quality we need, not to mention other individuals in the forum. Jeremy as well should chime in.
I also think key to this is using the proper method to contribute to the documentation, I have not worked out how to do this yet or we could use a separate shared user environment like a mediawiki with references to tiddlywiki.com. where we can build a single point of truth and all contributors can edit. The pain with MediaWiki is its a second markup, but it also has talk, and revisions etc... We just need to pick an appropriate way towards our goal even if we shift latter and get started now. Josiah, I think what you ask for will come after the fundamentals I raise are dealt with, or at least once started. For example if someone is providing instructions on how to "How to write, index and print a cookbook" if they can say we use the list widget of the form documented here, and customised as below we then blah blah, the effort of writing such solutions should be much easier and the solution knowledge base grows on top of a knowledge base of the elements. The elements can be improved and expanded without revision in all the different solutions like Grannies photo album. *If there is no movement on this and no clear objections* I can open a Yammer network for conversations and place a Dedicated MediaWiki online to start moving forward. I have no interest in supplanting existing forums etc.... only promoting a focused project to ease our own and others path to tiddlywiki adoption and excellence. In fact as we build more supporting doco we can post it here for review.
