Description:
Open Space camp/unconference on wiki and many other cool things — collaboration, community, etc. See http://recentchangescmp.org for links to each event's wiki
Next one in Portland, early 2010 (or Australia this year?)
This year (2009) Wagn was chosen as the conference wiki software — see http://2009rcc.org/
There have been Wagn Demonstrations at the 2007 & 2009 Portland and 2008 Palo Alto RecentChangesCamps. Wagn was conceived at the 2006 RCC.
Also see ImminentChangesCamp.
Demonstration notes:
2009:
Wagn ran the conference wiki — http://2009rcc.org/
Idea to show other user editing when in a conflict.

2008:
Ludovic of XWiki:
Liked everything a card; also confusing, need to hide in some places.
Need custom UI in many places anyway.

=====
At RecentChangesCamp 2007 in Portland, we did speed intros.
Typical intro:
* Wiki is to word processing what Wagn is to database - users can evolve data structures over time, step by step, rather than having to sit down with a database designer, figure it all out in advance and be more or less stuck with it.
* cards rather than pages; each page has a bunch of cards.
* connections/connection cards - like fields of the card you're on.
* ease of editing
* data types, validation
* card types -> tag cloud when creating new cards
* ask if people want to play with it later, and invite them to wagn.org on the spot.
