The name you come up with for a wiki page has always been a critical part of wikis' power in creating meaning.[1] We'll be reviewing the history and background of WikiNames in general, and the further space for meaning-creation opened up by Wagn's plus cards. Probable forays into pattern languages, including a pattern language of group process under development. [2]
Wagn is a free/open source Ruby on Rails structured wiki, which wiki inventor Ward Cunningham called, "One of the freshest contributions to wiki since I coined the term".[3]
Come at 5:30 for drinks/snacks and the discussion will start at 6:15.

This WikiWednesday we'll hear John Abbe, a key designer of the structured wiki Wagn (http://Wagn.org), talk about the importance of naming in your community. Cited by Joshua Schachter as clarifying his thoughts in developing Delicious.com, John will cover concepts of ontology useful for all participatory online spaces, not just wikis.
We'll be reviewing the history and background of the WikiNames concept (http://www.c2.com/cgi/wiki?ChoosingWikiNames), and the further space for creating meaning opened up by Wagn's "plus cards". Other probable forays include Pattern Languages (http://GroupPatternLanguage.org/) , including a pattern language of group process under development.
As always, WikiWednesday is free and open to everyone, experienced wiki walker or beginner. Come at 5:30 for drinks/snacks and the discussion will start at 6:15. |
