Here are the pages I plan on writing in the Getting Started guide:
1. What's a wiki?
2. What can a wiki be used for?
3. What's special about XWiki Enterprise?
4. First steps with XWiki Enterprise
1. Admins
1. Changing the logo & moving the panels around
2. Creating new users
3. Setting user rights
2. Users
1. Editing a page
2. Creating links & new pages
3. Rollbacking to a previous version of a page
5. Going further: link to relevant sections on
WDYT?

Good idea.
Idea: maybe we could kill 2 birds with one stone and making this a
getting started tutorial that would be on
xwiki.org in the user guide
and we would package that same tutorial in XE as a default installed
application. I really think we shouldn't duplicate the information
from
xwiki.org but instead package it (or a subset of it - like just
the getting started tutorial) inside the default XE.
Sure. I have one question though: if included in XE, this User Guide will
have to be available in the wiki's language if it's not english. I can write
in a GettingStarted space on
enterprise.xwiki.org, but where can I /
should I put the translations?
At a higher abstraction level: which deployment strategy should we pursue
for this? From another wiki to
XWiki.org & the default XAR? From
XWiki.org
to the default XAR? Something else?

Hi,
Ludovic pointed out to me that many wikis include some kind of
tutorial
space explaining what a wiki is and how it can be used. I have checked
PBWiki & Confluence and both of them include a couple pages explaining
what's a wiki. On top of this, the current homepage, which included
some
information about what a wiki is and what it can be used for, will
soon be
replaced by a nicer one with way less content.
Thus I'd like to contribute a XAR with 4-5 pages helping new users
getting
started with our wiki. Here's what I'd envision for the XAR's
contents:
- What's a wiki and what can it be used for
- Edit a page and create a link
- Change your wiki's logo and move the panels around
- Protect the wiki (basic rights setup for a couple configurations:
public / private wiki)
Basically the first steps most XWiki users will undertake when
arriving on a
blank XWiki Enterprise instance.
Thus I'd like your PoW on 1) the idea itself & 2) contents to
include (keep
in mind that this should stay short though). If it's welcomed
positively, do
I need to send a vote?
If the idea is accepted I'll handle the technical details with JV &
Ludo.
Thanks,
Guillaume
