[xwiki-devs] Groovy Blog: the End (for now)

Hi After using my Groovy based XWiki Blog I decided that I am not going to pursue this any further because of these issues: - Groovy applications still have more limitations than Velocity making it very difficult to use as an alternative - It is very difficult to deploy my own Groovy blog application because I have to go over several hoops to install it (content, plugins, plugin configurations) - Most of the issues where related to Groovy based Panels which seems not to be possible - No interest in it Even though I think that Groovy would be a much better way to script applications like the Blog XWiki seems not to be ready to embrace it. From my point of view the entrenched usage of Velocity makes it very difficult to go beyond a simple page script in another scripting language. Cheers Andreas Schaefer CEO of Madplanet.com Inc.
