I wouldn't trust TWiki on a "open to the public" site.

When Socialtext releases their beta I'm planning to play with it and 
likely setup an instance for the perl community (FWIW).

If it is like their hosted system, then it will make it easy to make 
different "work spaces" for different (sub)communities.

Most importantly then I'll feel reasonably safe that the code won't 
implode on us, and if it does then there'll be several paid maintainers 
only an IM away.  :-)
