I have submitted a proposal for P2P XWiki to Google and am exploring the
current code base
so that I get a head-start incase the proposal gets accepted. I have
A) Downloaded XWiki source version 0.9.793
B) Looked at developer documentation from
http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Doc/WebHome
By looking at overall architecture of XWiki, I think that an offline
XWiki will have a
different type of Store (centralized store) and a P2P XWiki will have
another store implementation
(P2P Store). At first glance, it appears that the centralized and P2P
store will
extend the interfaces XWikiStoreInterface. The interaction with these
stores *may* introduce new
APIs or use existing XML-RPC API without any changes. I am working on
understanding the overall architecture of the current XWiki and
identifying how a P2P XWiki can make the best use of
existing implementation.
I have the following questions:
a) I have downloaded the source code but don't see any documentation on
how I can run the XWiki completely
local to my machine. What are the requirements and steps for running a
local wiki from the source code?
b) To be sure, am I starting with the correct code base or is there any
other version of offline XWiki (may be not fully developed)?
Any other suggestions also welcome,
Thanks,
