Demonstrations+WagnWednesdays

September 3, 2008 - Chicago

Who: Michael Maranda, Ted Ernst, Regula Frey, Jean Nurture Girl Russell, Gerry Gleason, Lewis Hoffman, John Abbe, Ethan McCutchen

 

(Friday we demoed to Laura Hale and Susan Muldowney. Laura suggested http://sniki.org/ as something that could use Wagn's structure. Also asked how Google views Wagns - e.g., inclusions in view:content are not going to be treated as links!)

 

Use cases

 

next gen project management

(incl pre-project stuff & fewer assumptions - eg maybe you're not in one org together, don't have a project already, etc.)

constituent/donor mgmt (CRM)

+hooks to other systems
(do for Grass Commons!)

 

Card creation scripting

 

(Gerry)

create a card creation language so that you can create scripts

have Wagn export sets of cards to that language, and run that language to create card

 

What else should/could we do? (would make it possible/fun for me to Wagneer?)

 

ease of install (Ted)

 

create initial Screencasts

 

Others to look at: Commoncraft re wiki, Ted's for AboutUs

break current demo into ~five chunks - 1) wiki intro (editable, Recent, etc.); 2)

 

Etc.

guildsmiths.com (Jean, Nancy, etc.) is discussing taking on active stewardship

1) Ideally (from GC's perspective), they want to use Hooze, in which case no fee.

2) Willing to offer a three month free trial otherwise.
