Hi devs and everyone,
Emilie has proposed the following content to be added to the Download page
(
http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/Download):
http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Drafts/TextDownload
The idea is twofold:
1) to get feedback about what people think about our software.
2) some people who download the XWiki software from
xwiki.org don't know that XWiki
SAS has a commercial offerings and could be interested by it
The pros for the community are:
1) XWiki SAS will publish back the result of the feedback it receives from the download
form which will allow us to fine tune and improve the software
2) XWiki SAS could get more business (from people who want to buy support, dev work,
hosting, etc) which will mean accrued budget for paying developers and resources to work
on the XWiki project
Note 1: the form would be of course optional
Note 2: in the future I'd like to see a not for profit foundation to handle
xwiki.org,
the xwiki open source project, donations, etc. When this happens we could elect from
member for the foundation and have the feedback form sent to that foundation for example,
with members of the foundation having access to the data (for example).
WDYT?
Thanks
