Then we still have a disagreement :)
Right now (and I'd like to keep it this way) all wikis on the
xwiki.org domain are for *real*. They are not test platforms for
people to see how xwiki works and have some fun trying it. They have
real usages (documentation of the xwiki software).
We have one exception: this is playground.xwiki.org which is there for
people to test and play around.
Thus my proposal is:
1) have a new wiki (news.xwiki.org, same as we have jira.xwiki.org,
svn.xwiki.org and maven.xwiki.org) which will be our news "portal".
Note: It will also listen to the xwiki.org Blog feed.
2) have a Watch space in playground.xwiki.org for people to try out
Watch.
But I'm -1 to have a watch playground on watch.xwiki.org since I don't
want to blur the lines and I want to make it very clear that demo/
testing is on playground.xwiki.org and the rest is for real.
WDYT?
Thanks

Cool idea.
Is there really only one page for Watch? Where does it put the
articles, etc? I think you need a new space. >>> I'm +1 to try it somewhere on

What about
http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/ExternalNews
then ?
I'd be fine with http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/ExternalNews/WebHome
but I think it's better to have a top level domain name for several
reasons:
* better visibility
* easier to go to rather than having to go xwiki.org and click on a
link
* easier for upgrades (XE on xwiki.org and watch are separate)
this makes me +1 for a separate wiki. I would have had it in the
watch wiki on
xwiki.org but, since the goal is to have the latest version of watch
running
there, we need to make sure it is freely upgradable (which can
require upgrading
the underlying XE).
Otherwise, I still think it should be on watch.xwiki.org rather than
xwiki.org
for consistency reasons, since it would be a demo of watch -- that
is the main
purpose as I see it, allowing people to click around and have a
quick look
