Wagn -- John Abbe 6:30pm Tuesday, Apr 15th -- Eugene City Brewery (downstairs)
John Abbe <http://ourpla.net/> will do a demo and Q&A on Wagn, the most powerful effort he's seen incorporating structure into wiki, which is why he started working on it. Wagn is general purpose, free/open software written with Ruby on Rails and AJAX-y goodness, and was conceived by Ethan McCutchen and Lewis Hoffman (of Eugene non-profit Grass Commons), when they wanted to build a community editable system for company and product information, and no existing software would do what they wanted. John will show off Wagn's core innovation of "plussing" card names to create implicit structure among them (and explain why we call them cards instead of pages), as well as transclusion, cardtypes, templating and WQL - the Wagn Query Language.
