move most configuration options into cards+discussion
*table of contents - I know i'm the one usually arguing to put everything in cards :-), but is there any conceivable value in having a card for this? May not be worth the time now, but could eventually just do this in code, and in any case offer a much nicer interface for it (which ideally would only appear if the card in fact had four or more headers).

Solution reads: Any built-in cards that must be a certain type, but need not have any initial content, should be built-in anyway, and set to the correct type.
If we're going to do that, we should have meaningful default values, not blank content, because otherwise it will mess up funcionality. Eg, Wagn does behaves differently when there is vs. isn't a *home or *logo card. This is actually a pretty cool opportunity to make these features more discoverable...

re "*table of contents". Does "in code" mean in the database? I guess one value of having a card is that it gets exposed to WQL, which could have value for site upkeep (moreso once we have advanced search and bulk updates...).
I suspect that you're right, it won't be worth the time pre 1.0, but worth thinking about!

That's what i'm thinking - is there any admin situation in which you want to find cards that do or don't have their ToC suppressed? (By "in code" i meant, not having a card.) I guess more important to me than card-or-not is just having a better interface for this, so i added that to our mini-design list.

not sure exactly where to put the *error cards, since our setup had us directly configuring the plugin in wagn.rb...

Think this belongs in discussion more than solution:
At present, the "actual" search cards are referred to in the related card code, but I think ideally that will all eventually be built out of editable cards, so there may just be *related if any star card at all. But I think it makes sense to keep them for now. Do we want to change the link and update names for more simplicity / consistency? They sure are gangly. Could be hairier than warranted... Recommend status quo for now.

Let's move all of the "initial setup for new Wagn" components into a new ticket and test all the others, consistent with the card title. The initial setup ones won't make it into this release.

Ready to test those settings, but we also need to make several migrations before we're through.

Moved some stuff as requested to implement initial setup for new Wagn

At ((removed reference to sandwagn)) i set *title to Sandwagn and deleted *home, and now ((removed reference to sandwagn))goes to Wagn.
Anyway, i can't see why we have both *home and *title - the solution says the latter replaces wagn.rb site_name, and Installation says that's the "name of the Wagn's front page".
I thought *title might set the browser window title, but it doesn't do that.

I set ((removed reference to sandwagn)) to be a Phrase and a Pointer, but in neither case do i get redirected to the page indicated (instead i go to the home page).
--John Abbe.....Tue Feb 17 21:43:26 -0800 2009
((removed reference to sandwagn)) exists, but the Message box in the invite is blank (and the email received only has what i typed in there plus the account details).
((removed reference to sandwagn)) exists, but the email i get still comes from the User who invited.

Got clarity from Ethan offline about *home vs. *title, documenting at implement initial setup for new Wagn
*message and *from fixed; *thanks in progress...
--John Abbe.....Wed Feb 18 21:16:40 -0800 2009
Everything looks good now. Closing.
