Re: [xwiki-devs] Blog RSS Feed Problems with 1.8.3

Hi Sergiu You are assigned to this problem. If you did not start working on this I would like to get my hands dirty here.

Well, I started my first steps in open-source back when Richard Oeberg was still working on JBoss. So I am used not to give up too early, on the other hand I have some much to do including 4 kids that sometimes I just cannot afford to spend days after days on something just for fun. On the other hand I really think that XWiki needs a 1/2 hour primer that explains how to install it, how to do basic configuration and how to customize it. I slowly see the hidden features of XWiki but I can imagine that for many that hurdle is too high and so they give up early.

I was playing around with Liferay for a while and it is easy to get started and to bring a web site to life. But then many of their features are so limited like Blog, Wiki, Content Management that I stopped using it. That said I would love if XWiki could distribute a Version bundled with Jetty and a basic configuration already installed. Even yesterday when I started to push XWiki to the production server I couldn't remember why I couldn't login until I click on the Administrator button (top right) where I finally was redirected to the Import page. Such a bundle together with a short introduction to the XWiki environment would help many users to go over the initial hump where the start to appreciate XWiki a lot.
