I proposed 2. as an answer to the desire to offer a simpler browsing
experience to Normal Users than the one offered to Developpers. Instead of
sending them straight to the wiki, we send them to the tiddlywiki.

Note that 1. and 2. are technically in place already at:
 http://om-tiddlywiki.projects.openmoko.org/openmokowiki.html
I would say it needs a CSS layout & design revision, a handheld-oriented
CSS, automatic sync, and that (as you say) writers from the main wiki take
care to remain simple in these pageS.
