To learn more about RecentChangesCamp, see http://2009rcc.org/ - lots of great wiki folks, and other tech and non-tech people will be there.

We recently decided to use Wagn as the basis for RecentChangesCamp, an international wiki-oriented conference that will take place in Portland, Oregon in February 2009. It's a great tool. Many of us have experience using it on connectipedia.org, an Oregon-based project that serves non-profits and charitable foundations.

Wow, thanks for the positive review! It's especially meaningful to us since we feel like you get most of what we're trying to do (tuples, cross between a wiki and a database, WQL, nesting/inclusion). Another design principle (with much work ahead) is to keep smoothing the ramp from reader to editor to site-builder. Anyway, we hope it's cool with you that we've quoted you on http://wagn.org/wagn/praise

I tried this one out. The code on GitHub is in a state of flux and I had to do a few tricks to get it to work (including making it use Rails 2.1 rather than Rails 2.2). It seems promising, though.
