- 26. Why use Wagn? combines powers of CMS, wiki, and database web users empowered to create like coders reduce context shifts (no separate admin area) everything is tracked and reversible mods integrate easily (no custom low-level data structures) it’s fun wagn.org ~ wikirate.org
Editor's Notes
- introduce the players. note how vish is playing hard to get
- going to guess you don’t have to mention the W’s. they’ll catch on.
- I know this is not an “approved” vision statement. Edit at will.Aiming to construct the largest crowdsourced database on the ethical and sustainable activities of companies. -Sources, claims, summaries
- could show three cards (a company, a topic, and an analysis). I was thinking just to say that that there was a separate car for the others.
- point out that this is zooming out on analysis from previous page to show where the summary comes from
- alonovo, osoeco
- Knowledge management project; public shared knowledge base about grant making-Ward Cunningham invented the first wiki,spoke at the Connectipedia launch
- Proposal submission and review tool
- image of wikirate page
- image of gear menu
- point out all the syntax on Wikipedia. You can lead to next slide by saying that Wagn Editors don’t learn syntax; that’s for Wagneers.
- I wouldn’t try to get into the details of these. Idea is to convey a clean, logical ordering in a way that will appeal to techies.I might, however,explain that you’re seeing all the rules that apply to the Apple logo cardnote that I never get into the compound names (plus cards). I think that will derail the presentation
- idea is for this to be a teaser, not to involve a lot of explaining. instead of going through the items, I would just use this space to convey something about your experience of wagneeringWQL = Wagn Query Language
- http://wagn.org/MoVE_beyond_MVCMove stands for:Mo = ModelV = ViewsE = EventsMaybe read the blog, see whether it makes sense, and send me questions?
- what makes the technology juicy?data atoms – the “everything is a card” mantradistribution – the plans for “WagNet” will make it so that you can seamlessly use cards from other sitesintegration – unlike Drupal/Wordpress modules, Wagn mods add no custom structure, so they can connect well even with unknown mods
- Context shift: drupal or wordpress: have to go to separate admin area; vs. in wagn edit in place; and then also; all the rules are accessible from the page you are onTracked and reversible: all the rules and sets have revision history… No custom low-level structures… vs. customiseddrupal nodes or wordpress nodes; sometimes nodes don’t connect…; cards can connect more easily
