Get in now, so you can save money and learn about the latest in Wiki development from Lukas Renggli:

Web applications and wikis are often built using string-based approaches to parse and generate the resulting web-pages. While such approaches work well for simple applications, they hamper the customization and adaptability to end-users with more sophisticated needs such as different output formats, user-interfaces, management tools, application logic and security policies. Pier (formerly called SmallWiki 2) is the second version of an industrial strength application framework built on top of Seaside. Pier is written with objects from top to bottom and it can be easily customized to accommodate new needs. Pier is based on a powerful meta-description called Magritte, that allows one to create user-interfaces elements, queries and persistency in a declarative way.

See you in Toronto!
