I'm getting very interested in TW as a potentially secure way to chat, and
publish material that is ONLY for selected users/participants.
Part of the background is that its becoming clearer that large online
services are NOT, ultimately, able to secure conversation. I spent the last
two days sorting out the aftermath for me of the Quora meltdown ...

The problem is those types of system are owned and run at huge scale by
far off companies and you don't know what they are doing. In fact THEY
often don't know what they are doing till its too late. This just is the
latest of a long line of serious cloud hacks. I basically don't trust them
now. The hassle re-setting everything after an attack is both a PITA and
very worrying. Identity theft can be a very complicated thing to sort out.
TW seems interesting if you can add *two step verification*.
Practically I'm very interested in being able to run a TW online just for
conversation with ONE person ... i.e. One Wiki Per Converser. In this way
we can chat AND in teaching I can show all but only what is needed. This is
appropriate for how I work, which is all one-on-one. More collectivist
security models interest me too, but the simple person-to-person is a
specific interest. And I think it may be simpler to establish really
robustly?
This is just one set of thoughts. My main concern is: can TW be maximally
secure? I think, if it could be demonstrably so on-line it could be a USP
for it.
Any comments welcomed ...
These are just early thoughts
