It also touches a lot of what’s on http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Installation. Thanks for working on this! :) Some comments/questions: * You haven’t explained the wording “Local Installation” but I happen to have discussed it with you and AFAIR the goal is to also offer Cloud-based solutions too (myxwiki.org, companies offering cloud instances, etc). So I guess the idea is to have “Local Installation” and “Cloud-based Installation”? There are also other terminologies used such as “On-premises”, “SAAS”. What is best? * You’re missing several packagings in the Local Installation: the WAR packaging, the Debian packaging, the yaourt one, etc. Actually the 3 you’ve listed are not about Local installation, they’re about providing a HSQLDB/Jetty setup (This is missing from the description you’ve used, only the third one mentions it when they’re all about HSQLDB/Jetty - Also it should be mentioned that they should be used for trials/tests and not for production). * Some suggestion for the various packaging names: ** “Generic Graphical Installer”. For all OSes. Note that this is NOT reserved for non-windows OSes, as mentioned. ** “Windows Graphical Installer”. Reserved for Windows. ** “Generic ZIP Installer”. For all OSes. * I see there’s a link on “XWiki version”. Where does that lead to? * Where would you put the other links that are on http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Installation, namely: ** the tutorials ** the troubleshooting Thanks! -Vincent
