Yes but it's not correct. You mentioned “Local Installation”. If you replace
"Local Installation" by “Standalone Installation” (i.e. HSQLDB/Jetty) then it’s
correct.

This proposal doesn't tackle any of the things you mentioned. This only
wants to change the information presented on the
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/InstallationStandalone
page. Hi,
This proposal wants to improve the current documentation page we have at:
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/InstallationStandalone
in order to be more easy to be followed by
beginner users.
Actually your proposal goes beyond changing that page. It also touches a
lot of what’s on
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Installation.
The proposal is here:
http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Proposal/XWikiOrgInstallationLocal
Thanks for working on this! :)
Some comments/questions:
* You haven’t explained the wording “Local Installation” but I happen to
have discussed it with you and AFAIR the goal is to also offer Cloud-based
solutions too (myxwiki.org, companies offering cloud instances, etc). So
I guess the idea is to have “Local Installation” and “Cloud-based
Installation”? There are also other terminologies used such as
“On-premises”, “SAAS”. What is best?
If you go to the Download page, in the
"Installation Help" column, the EXE,
JAR and ZIP list the InstallationStandalone page.
Yes but that page is not about Local installations ;)
* You’re
missing several packagings in the Local Installation: the WAR
packaging, the Debian packaging, the yaourt one, etc. Actually the 3 you’ve
listed are not about Local installation, they’re about providing a
HSQLDB/Jetty setup (This is missing from the description you’ve used, only
the third one mentions it when they’re all about HSQLDB/Jetty - Also it
should be mentioned that they should be used for trials/tests and not for
production).
The Download page layout is covered by
http://markmail.org/thread/6wgmvwxl6h6pvogr * Some
suggestion for the various packaging names:
** “Generic Graphical Installer”. For all OSes. Note that this is NOT
reserved for non-windows OSes, as mentioned.
** “Windows Graphical Installer”. Reserved for Windows.
** “Generic ZIP Installer”. For all OSes.
I've used the current text on
http://enterprise.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/Download , but sure we can
improve it.
* I see there’s a link on “XWiki version”. Where does that lead to?
That lead to the Download page. * Where would
you put the other links that are on
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Installation, namely:
** the tutorials
** the troubleshooting
I guess they should still stay where they are, on AdminGuide/Installation
page. I don't want to crowd this page and try to keep it as simple and
straightforward as possible.
Thanks,
Caty
