Lately I was looking for a wiki software for storing tips on how to manage a server or setup some rails stuff etc.
This blog is nice and fine for that, and also save from me due to some hacks or misconfiguration on my server, but also hard to find.
wagn is great because it can arrange bits of data as they come along.
With a blog or a typical CMS (refineryCMS is my newest adventure/project) data is structured BEFORE input is made.
Have a lock:
After installing it locally I was very intrigued by inline editing or the flexible browse through. But soon after that I also struggled creating my own "wagn" rather than leaving it be as default installation.
On wagn.org I got help immediately and one of the founders got in contact with me by email. I found an error on the site, and also gave them my steps to install wagn on centOS 6; bottom line is that the software is kind of young, but the company behind is very eager to promote it - licensed with GPL though.
So I installed it on my server, had some trouble with rmagick, but in the end it worked without rmagick or zenTest and still is.
In comparison to mediaWiki wagn is totally different, but honestly.... more fun as well. You browse arround, have an idea and edit the page right were you are.
You dont know what section to create when writing about something? No problem, just start putting thought together and after a while you might end up with cards in cards in cards and voila a section appeared.
Try it and give it a chance!
PS: I was looking for a rails wiki and just found gollum or instiki, first was just meant to be used locally and second did not run at all due to ruby or rails problems.
Anyway, it took me some time to find wagn and I hope it is not the downfall of the software not being marketed more aggressively. On the other hand there is a company behind developing free and open source software and gaining money from serving support.
