Create a card Connect it to *sidebar Connect it to *open to have it open
Modify contents by clicking on the card or choosing the edit option.
I think the comment function is extraordinary, but I haven't had a chance to really use it. In card options, if you have the authority, you can choose options. The forth option is comment. Choose who you want to have able to comment...I choose anyone on mine so people who have not gained sign on access yet can still leave a message. You must do this for each card you wish to give comment function to.
The template capacity is great too, but I have yet to get a hang of it. Anyone have simple directions for that?
Thanks for getting conversation moving Mamading. I hope together we can help each other. Your interests are aligned with mine, but I am not quite the maven technically that you are.
Wagn does work similar to a wiki in that it is community created...but it is also more database like...so it is more of a community driven database for amassing collective intelligence. Transclusion allows you to pull small sortable chunks of information into larger contiguous data streams. So a whole business plan can be pulled together from cards that hold the mission, vision, values, marketing plan, financials, etc. And the rearranged or edited for different organizational purposes. Or company cards can hold information about location, size, leadership, products, etc. Cards can be connected as a way to tag information too--create folksonomy. I hope to see the highly flexible and useful tool that wagn is be implemented in a variety of domains. I would love to hear what other folks are using it for.
Best, Jean

Being a bootstrapping geek I'm used to fending for myself in most
circumstances, but I haven't grokked Wagn yet. The concepts sound
good but applying them is something else and I'm speaking as a long
time wiki user. Also I have people looking to me for guidance on how
to apply Wagn to their project and I'm not in a position to provide
that guidance as yet (a very unfamiliar and uncomfortable position for
me).

What I need help with is howtos, more content on the pages brought up

http://www.wagn.org/wagn/*search?view=content&s[_keyword]=howto
As for what I can do to help you, you'll have to tell me. I'll tell
you a bit about myself as it might help. I'm a techie with a deep
interest in social change (one of the reasons I'm interested in Wagn
is because it looks like the Grasscommons guys have values similar to
mine).
I'm a bit of a maven which means I know about all sorts of stuff in
various domains and I have an active network in the UK and Europe
around social change and social enterprise.
Last November, I attend Be The Change 2007 http://bethechange.org.uk/2007.cfm
Amongst the many things I'm connected to, one of them is a group of
people looking to organise an event in London around the launch of
Muhammed Yunus' new book: Creating A World Without Poverty - Social
Business and the Future of Capitalism, see http://tinyurl.com/26uzne
for more info.
One or more of the above may be of interest to you, but perhaps none
of them are.

Right now, I'm a Wagn newbie who's successfully installed it on a

documentation and would like to know if people beyond the Grasscommons
crew are actively using Wagn and how/where they are sharing their tips

Yes, after running rake db:migrate a few times I managed to figure out
that the json gem was needed and did as above. This is a
documentation and packaging issue. There should be a clear and

INSTALL doc.

As a new wagn user, more documentation and examples would be very
handy. Right now, it seems the only way I can see some useful
examples is if I signup to the wagn.org site and see how existing
cards/pages have been setup . This is less than ideal. Hope the
documentation deficit will made up with the 1.0 release.

Hi all. I just installed a new WagN 0.9.0 site.
I had to do a couple things to get it going that aren't in the instal
instructions..
First of all, I had to install json, which for me was as easy as:
# gem install json
Secondly, if I ran it as anything other than webrick (I always spawn a fastcgi
process and connect to the socket with lighttpd) then it would fail thusly:
/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in

I tried setting this value to "../lib/wagn" and got the same results so I
finally just set it to the full path and it seems to work.
Can't wait to play more with the new version!

We met today, and came up with a few Wadget uses:
Company and product information - people can show up-to-date
information about a company (or products) from Hooze on their own
e-commerce site or other web pages. So if you have a shopping site
your users can find out a company's ecological impact, how it treats
it workers, etc.
Sharing movement information - Many people are supporting schools to
engage in greener practices. Our own Green School Toolbox project has
started a Wagn to gather and share information about these efforts.
Others can use Wadget to include information from
greenschooltoolbox.com on their own site.
Event promotion - Other sites can easily list up-to-date schedule and
notable participant information without having to edit anything. They
just include a Wadget pointing to your schedule and notable
participant cards, and when people look at their site they'll always
see the latest information. Last minute changes become widely known as
quickly as possible.
Update changing information in a single place - It's easy to keep
information on a single Wagn card current. Imagine maintaining a quote
of the day card, or a restaurant listing their special of the week.
Any number of other sites could add the Wadget code once and display
these regularly-changing cards.
If you have any others, please share!
Life,
John

Ethan and i are meeting Wednesday at 11am (west coast time) to explore
how Wadget will be used with Hooze, and brainstorm other uses. I wrote

There is Wadget support in all wagns above 0.5.2 -- no special installation required. However, we're not publishing instructions quite yet because we're still working out kinks in the wadget interface (api). You'd forfeit most of the gains if you had to go fixing your wadget code everytime we had a new wagn release ;)
We expect to have that solidified two mini-releases from now (under a month), and there will be lots of documentation coming out then. Right now we were just hoping to show enough of a teaser to get some good ideas about how wadgets might be used.
Lewis has developed Wadget - a way for people to show a Wagn card on
any web page. You can see an example on Lewis' blog on the Grass
Commons site: <http://grasscommons.org/blog/3>. Notice you can open or
collapse the card, and when it's open you can click on the link at the
bottom and go to the card's page on Wagn
<http://www.wagn.org/wiki/Wadget>. If anyone edits that card, the next
time Lewis' blog is loaded it will show the changes.
One reason we developed this was for Hooze - so that people could show
up-to-date information about a company or a product on their own web
pages.
We'd like to come up with as many other uses as we can - what can you
imagine using this for?

Sorry for the heavier-than-expected traffic on this list lately. We've been overloading it a bit while we're working on getting bug reporting, support, and developer chatter to be self-standing systems outside of this main list, which will be more for feature announcements and other biggish news. (In the meantime, if anyone wants to be sure to get through to just the core team, info@grasscommons is the best bet).
As part of that strategy, we did some refactoring of the bug reporting on wagn.org today -- should be easier now to plop things in without having to figure out how they relate to all the existing reports. (see http://wagn.org/wiki/Bugs)
And in true wagn style, if anyone wants to help out with putting together a ghetto-fabulous card system for support tracking on
Wagn.org as part of your next support request, feel very welcome!
Re unsubscribing: you can fully unsubscribe through the route Tim outlined at any time (Thanks, Tim!) -- there are links at the bottom of every email. As for being on this list without permission, I don't see how that could have happened; we sent out a broad invitation, but the email only goes out to people who actively responded by subscribing themselves (a little over 40 people).
I think all you need to do is send an email from the subscribed account to
WagnEnthusiasts-unsubscribe@yahoogroups.com
I think you will then get an email wanting you to click something to verify or
something like that.

I would like my name removed from this list as well. Wagn seems like a great concept, but I don't recall subscribing to this list.

Sorry, i wasn't clear enough - you can create a cardtype with a
lower-case first name, but it won't work correctly then. Lewis would
be able to explain this better. Meanwhile, you might try it again
with an upper-case-named cardtype and see if you get the same
problems.

It let me create a card type of website. This happens no matter what card I
attempt to create a connection on. If I click the "+ New" tab on any part of
the site this happens. I don't think it is related to the card name; at least
not in any way that is obvious to me.

I just ran across a problem like this - apparently Cardtypes must
begin with an uppercase letter (relates to how Ruby names some

Ooh, sorry Tim, I don't think anyone ever responded to this.
The case sensitive search is a bug that got introduced when we were making wagn work on more database engines. It's high up on the "ugliness" section of the buglist (at http://wagn.org/wiki/Bugs). It annoys us all the time, so I'm sure it won't linger there too long ;)
This all sounds extremely impressive. I plan to put together a Wagn site for sustainable home brewing information (possibly as a Brew Not Bombs informational site).
The only thing I noticed that seemed odd when I was playing with the Hooze site was that searches appear to be case sensitive. I assume that would be easy to fix(?) Or perhaps be an option that could be selected?
The problem here is that I failed to update the documentation in
conjunction with the release. System.setup isn't needed anymore--
just run rake migrate and you should be able to start the server and
get started. I'm planning to update the docs on wagn.org and fix the
INSTALL file for a 0.5.1 release this weekend.
Sorry about the confusion!

Wagn 0.5.0 was released into the world a few days ago. You can try it
out at <http://wagn.org/> or download it and try it out on your own
server <http://wagn.org/wiki/Wagn_Installation>. We've already found
a few bugs, but you can help us out by reporting others
<http://wagn.org/wiki/Bugs>; if your exploration sparks any feature
requests we'd love to hear about those too
<http://wagn.org/wiki/Feature_Requests>.
New features since 0.4:
== Datatypes ==
Cards can have datatypes such as number, date, currency and much more
(see below). This enables all kinds of number crunching and some
other things now, and is a first step toward building calendars and
more creative possibilities you/we dream up in the future. One way of
using this is in combination with templating - for example you can
set things up so a user creating a new meeting card is prompted to
enter a date for the meeting.
Of note, two datatypes allow uploads - images, which can then be
displayed, or any file at all, which can then be downloaded.
== New look ==
We've revamped much of the interface, including a much clearer layout
and a beautiful design that lays to rest the idea that wikis have to
be ugly. Below each card there's a new row of tabs which show
different lists of cards related to the card you're on. For example,
the one with the left arrow shows backlinks - cards with one or more
hyperlinks to the card you're on. Also, a table of contents is now
automatically generated at the top of long cards with headers.
== Administration & permissions ==
We've streamlined the process for inviting new users (their card is
created as soon as you invite them, and there's no more activation
link). The administration tools are greatly improved, and you can now
make a cards viewable or editable only by yourself or a group. One
side-benefit is you can put a private card in the sidebar and you're
the only one who will see it there.
== More more more ==
* Auto save while you're editing a card
* Transclusion - put a card name inside squiggly brackets - {{}} -
and it will appear there when you save (and you can edit the
transcluded card just by double-clicking it).
* You can now page through long lists of search results (including
Recent Changes)
* Edit conflict management
* Query cards let you choose a cardtype and a keyword and see a list
of all the cards that match.
* Ruby cards can do *many* kinds of operations on cards in the wiki -
e.g., with all the new datatypes.
* Server cards can show the result of a shell script!
Thanks to Meyer Memorial Trust for funding this work, and all of you
for your support. Now get out there and play with it all and tell us
how to make Wagn even better!
Life,
John
