yes, the video is great, and just how people can contribute, not just
by writing code. You might also like to check out
http://tiddlyspace.com which is a little more active and whose design
was informed by developing and using hoster ..

In case there's concern, though I'm currently distracted from hoster
for work on tiddlyspace, I don't intend to see hoster fade away. My
expectation is that TiddlySpace and TiddlyHoster can live concurrently
and be mutually beneficial.
Soon I'll be writing up a little bit of something on how they are
different and how they are the same.

Sure! I think there's benefits in both models, and both serve to
demonstrate how to mix and match TiddlyWiki, TiddlyWeb and The Web.

That sounds like an interesting and worthwhile exercise. At this point
I can see one immediate difference, that TiddlySpace is emphasising
creating private spaces amongst trusting groups users, with a
publishing to public process whereas hoster is explicitly more "open",
less constrained, and could be considered to be more individualistic.
Hmm.
I'm not sure whether that's what you're referring to, but TiddlyWebAdmin
provides some of that functionality:
http://collab.tiddlywiki.org/tiddlywebadmin/
http://github.com/FND/tiddlywebadmin
For convenience, I wrote a script[1] to create a single-page app[2]:
http://fnd.lewcid.org/tmp/tiddlywebadmin.html
(needs to be downloaded and run from a file: URI, possibly modifying the
default http://0.0.0.0:8080 host at the bottom of the file)
It's still a bit rough UI-wise, but rather handy nonetheless.

Obviously I haven't gotten around to this yet, but I still think it is
a relevant exercise, especially given the experiences discussed in the
granularity thread.
There's a great deal of code that can be shared between hoster and
tiddlyspace, so I'm hoping once TiddlySpace stabilizes a bit I can
integrate the learnings into hoster. I'm disappointed with myself for
not giving hoster the attention it deserves, especially since I
believe it exercises the power in TiddlyWeb to a greater degree than
TiddlySpace.
This of course comes at a cost of usability though.
There are always compromises.
