Nice one TT! Collaboration, limited collectivism and sharing the load get my 
vote.

In my opinion GG is actually TW's strongest resource at the moment.

*GG is a brain dump - a silo - anything and everything goes in it.

*GG is the reliable silo. The entire conversation takes place here. Splinter 
discussion groups will splinter the conversation. IMO Avoid multiple silos. 
Open, unified discussion in a single established location is powerful, 
inclusive and democratic.

*GG is the first, officially recognised point of call if you're a TW beginner. 
You can find answers here and ask questions. The community is courteous, 
diverse, helpful and very knowledgeable. 

*That idea of community has enormous value - the level of unforced user 
engagement on GG is extraordinary.

*GG has limitations but in its favour it's still here, 24 hours a day, it's 
neutral - not subject to an individual's whims and styles, it is egoless, 
'owned' by the group, not one individual. It has everything in it, there is a 
chronology. It's searchable - granted hitting the right search term is 
difficult but difficulty can be 'educational'.

*GG has a personality - acquired from it's collective membership - it also 
quickly reveals who the TW 'adepts' are. You learn to trust inputs from 
particular names - (Don't stop sharing you lovely people).

So, I like GG despite its faults.

I think your emerging model of Official TW documentation, supplemented by GG as 
the big brain dump where everything goes, supplemented by super useful TW 
resource lists like Dave's Toolmap, supplemented by user generated 'area 
specific' solution wikis such as Mohammad's pioneering TW-Scripts and Regex 
Solutions is a pretty good model. 

Maybe it's the area specific solutions that could be collaborated on and 
extended? Mohammad has got the ball rolling already I think and did float an 
input tool for contributions of solutions found on GG. Perhaps he'd be willing 
to brush up the mechanism and users could discuss and agree on a formalised, 
recognised, findable accepted method of chipping in solutions around particular 
problematic topic areas? 

Some features I'd prefer;
No single individual shoulders the burden
Self maintainiing
Easy input
Topic defined
Formally recognised and promoted
Uses TW wherever possible 

Other things this thread might have ideas on;
Structure of contribution
Input method
Collection point
Agreed topic areas
Method of publicising

Collating those solution inputs would be the work that might need sharing and 
how to go about that could discussed further.

The FAQ idea is another possible route, I think administering one, maintaining 
answers and establishing whose responsibility it would be need careful 
discussion. Avoiding multiple information silos and diluting the collective but 
anarchic authority of GG might be considerations.

Anyway just my 2 cents, here's a simple 3 hit helpline hierarchy for any 
beginners out there;

Tiddlywiki Official Docs - https://tiddlywiki.com/

--Google Groups -http://groups.google.com/group/TiddlyWiki

---- Dave Gifford's Toolmap - https://dynalist.io/d/zUP-nIWu2FFoXH-oM7L7d9DM  
see relevant sections

Dave's already created a beautiful resource - so why reinvent that wheel? 
Adding area specific solutions to his toolmap, solution sites with examples, 
created along the lines explored by Mohammad seems like it could be 
coordinatable and doable. 'Lets Snowball that cumulative group knowledge'.

Keep up the good work guys. Big thanks to all you TW-ites for your efforts and 
the continuing conversation. It is much appreciated!
