I replied to Vincent's comment but there are no follow-ups.
I thought about it after you commented but I was not able to find a
good solution in the time I spent. I started to reply but I scraped my
answer when I realized I just hasn't given it enough thoughts...
Ideally I would have preferred that we implement the confluence API in
one flavor of our XMLRPC API so that it's 100% compatible and that in
the other flavor we implement the XWiki API (with objects, classes,
different rename, etc).
This is so that we can say we implement the Confluence API and so that
existing tool that work with a confluence back end will work with XWiki.
To be honest we haven't used any confluence tool so far but maybe we
should list them and check if some are useful for us.
For example:
http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CONFEXT/Tools
Or maybe this is just too much work and we should not try to implement
fully the Confluence XMLRPC interface?
One use case that I think is interesting to keep would be to be able
to use XEclipse to convert from confluence to xwiki:
* in XEclipse you connect to both a confluence server and to a xwiki
server
* in the confluence connection you navigate to a page
* you right click and select "convert to xwiki..."
* You select the destination in the connected xwiki server
Thanks
