Rolling at RecentChangesCamp
RecentChangesCamp is a wiki-lover's feast. It's a conference about wikis in a very wiki-like conference format full of people passionate about the Wiki Way.
Several members of Wagn's core team, John Abbe, Lewis Hoffman, and Ethan McCutchen, helped get the first RecentChangesCamp going back in 2006, which is where they first started exploring the ideas for Wagn. This year all three returned to Portland, OR for the event, where Wagn itself was being used as the conference wiki.
With all the wiki fanatics playing around with Wagn, we got to see Wagn really put to the test. Looks like things turned out well -- the organizers of a new RecentChangesCamp event in Australia are going to be using Wagn too. And John came up with some creative ways of organizing Session Notes that made great use of Wagn's simple dynamic features.
Thank you to everyone involved in RecentChangesCamp for giving Wagn a shot, for exploring, and for the terrific feedback. Long live the Wiki!
Wagn 0.11 - Show Me the Community
Happy New Year. And a happy new Wagn release.
Wagn 0.11 emphasizes making the user community visible to itself. User names now show up in recent changes, user names in comments are now linked, and user edits and roles can now be queried.
We've also fixed lots of bugs, including some weird stuff that used to happen with funky characters in card names. As part of that change, we now have more attractive URLs.
Also, we now support the Universal Edit Button

GrassCommons.org: now with wheels
Ask anyone in web development, and they'll tell you: your own website often comes last. Nothing against Drupal, but shouldn't GrassCommons.org, the website of the organization behind Wagn.org, be a Wagn?
We thought so, and we're happy to have made the switch in time for the New Year. We expect that making it a Wagn will lead to our being much more active on the site -- one of many of our resolutions. Have a look at GrassCommons.org and tell us what you think.

The Wagn Project was conceived at the first Recent Changes Camp. Recent Changes continues to cultivate new ideas and new connections in the Wiki World, and we're honored to be supporting the event.
