- Losing track of what is in it
- Letting things get out of date
I think that Wagn, a Rails-based wiki, may help us stay DRY while providing handy tools for monitoring the state of information within the wiki.
Wagn is a card-based wiki. Cards can link to or include information from other cards. Comments may also be added to cards.
Cards have a type. For example, the image type makes it easy to upload images into a specific document, and also to share that image into several documents. The file type works similarly.
One of the most useful types is "search". Using this feature, it will be possible to embed a search into any document. For example, I could create a home page for my account which automatically searches for "chat", "performance test", and "user interface". When I log in, I would then be able to see recent changes to documents referring to those topics.
Oh, it also does rich text editing, which is a nice plus when you're in a rush.
