| | ==Description== |
| | This wiki is being used to organize the Recent Changes Camp meetup in Portland, Oregon February 3-5, 2006. |
|
| |
|
| = Overview =
| | We are coming together to make connections, write code, have fun, revise the [[CyberneticRoadmap]], do as much good work as each and every one of us can … and then go home more connected, more energized and more capable of building great communities and the tools they depend on. Bring your friends and join a good party that's growing even better! |

| = SMW vs Wordpress =
| |
| | |
| Compare Wordpress vs SMW — "Raskin vs Englebart," specialized appliance model vs learning to use a computer
| |
| | |
| http://www.retrofacto.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/wordpress.jpg
| |
| | |
| * '''Wordpress''' is task driven software. Forms for every day tasks. SMW is building blocks, play-doh. Helpful to map MW, SMW, extensions but it still won't be the same. | |
| | |
| Every day tasks —
| |
| * Everything oriented towards content management around blogging | |
| * SEO, user management | |
| * "Delete" content, one click | |
| * SMW site will need a UI (immediate functions) inside a UI (MW) | |
| * Learning curve is constant on wordpress, gets steep fast using SMW | |
| | |
| = Summary=
| |
| | |
| * Some successes with non technical users, usually individuals within orgs | |
| * Patience, constant guidance, listening to requirements are most important | |
| * Build up big expectations but focus on immediate goals | |
| * Some SMW facilities such as task oriented guides would help a lot | |
| ** Slick rich page editors - links and annotations - would help a lot | |
| ** 'Class' editors work with existing elements | |
| ** Visual form editor | |
| * People like visualizations and they can help with shaping and debugging data | |
| * Always focus on their goals rather than ideals, but try to explain the vision, the two should come together | |
| * Use lots of meaningful examples | |
| ** Placeography, DiscourseDB, sites related to organization | |
| ** Good distributed examples would help too | |
| | |
| == Questions ==
| |
| | |
| * What are the best extensions to make the site easy to use? | |
| ** Do people use the rich text editor? | |
| * Is SMW a good "universal platform?" | |
| | |
| = Notes =
| |
| | |
| ==Notes from conference==
| |
| | |
| * Business people love reports | |
| * Authoring tools - ease of tagging | |
| * Stop saying "semantic" — "knowledge engineering" | |
| * Bad perceptions about wikis - call it "knowledge management" | |
| * Need more white papers instead of mountain of data | |
| * Find meaningful ways to connect to well known solutions (SQL, etc), use it as an integration platform | |
