I haven't yet tried 0.9 out but the release mentions tsearch for postgresql. I'm currently using ferret+acts as ferret and happy with them for my apps, so I ask if tsearch has significant features over ferret, just in case i need those for future apps. TIA.

Marcello: we chose tsearch because we want to be able to integrate the text search with other constraints in a single query.

I was wondering is there a way from this level of Wagn to import things as a set of cards, or to import more complex html (I have some freemind diagrams I would like to see how they could be used as a basis for a set of cards). Is that sort of things:
a. Available at this level or do you need to get a wagn wheels account on the server to get import tools?
b. Available at all? Do you have to manually input each card manually? What's the best part of your site to find this?

We definitely want to have easy import (among many other things), but there are no import tools at present. The options are to import stuff by hand, download Wagn and do your own importing into the SQL database, or hire us to do it. --John Abbe
I'm not seeing a way to change permissions on the Options tab. There are no menus to the left of the various permission types, just links to the current permission card. Is this a problem with FIrefox?

If you're logged in and have a role that has "set card permission", you should be seeing menus. Did you look at the After installation section of Installation? --John

What is the Hooze Bot user that comes in the default Wagn installation, and is there anything Wagn administrators can do with it?

We've changed its name to Decko Bot 1; it's used right now when accounts are approved, and on cascading name changes: When you rename a card, links to that card are changed, and the revisions are attributed to the WagnBot-- the rationale is that if you didn't want to see all the cards with link fixes on recent changes you could filter out revision by the bot. (although I don't think we're actually doing that right now)

I think the other reason why we did it as the Wagn Bot was because of a permissions issue. What if I change the name of a card that is linked to from a card I don't have permission to edit. We thought this was a special case, since it tends to be beneficial to go ahead and let that person decided to change the links -- even on cards he/she can't see. It's an interesting issue that comes up when you use names as a significant identifier and yet make them fairly fluid.
I'm starting to think, though, that the better option would be to make it so that the edit is made in the name of the original person making the name change but should include. This is clearer (that's who triggered the change after all), but might include some sort of "minor" or "triggered" flag that lets us know it wasn't changed by hand.

This could be a good thing. No formatting buttons?

Not in comments, but when you edit a card you get them - see layout and styling.

Participation is nice, but is it possible to create personalized displays?

For people who have accounts, yes. When you include cards, you can use "_user" to refer to the current user; for example in the sidebar here at wagn.org we've included "_user+menu" so that each person can have their own custom card of links, etc. in their sidebar.

This is pretty cool. I wish double-click didn't try to edit though, I use that A LOT to select text. Hope it's optional. :-)
Not yet, but we plan to do this once we improve interface around content view inclusions. --John
