New subject: [xwiki-devs] [xwiki-users] [Proposal] Comparing XWiki to MediaWiki and Confluence on xwiki.org

22 Sep 2017

Hi,

I finally got the time to make another iteration for these comparison
pages.

If anyone want to make modifications on the texts, they are available at:
- http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Drafts/Compare/
- http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Drafts/Compare/XWiki-vs-Confluence/
- http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Drafts/Compare/XWiki-vs-MediaWiki/

They should look like:
- Compare:
http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Proposal/XWikiOrg2017/preview_Co…
- XWiki vs. Confluence:
http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Proposal/XWikiOrg2017/preview_Co…
- XWiki vs. MediaWiki:
http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Proposal/XWikiOrg2017/preview_Me…

I'm curious to know what you think about this version in terms of layout,
validate the content, maybe you have other points that we can compare the
solutions on, maybe I wrote something wrong for the solutions.

Let me know,
Caty

only maintain documentation for the latest version of XWiki on
 xwiki.org (not enough manpower to have decent doc for several versions
 ATM).

 However, for version 6.2.5 and later, you have a way to mitigate this
 limitation. You can install the Scripting Documentation Application on  your
  own wiki (see
 http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Scripting+Documenta
 tion+Application). 
 Thanks, I did not know about this tool, which sounds excellent.

  Unless you are using XWiki prior to 4.2 , using
Wiki Component is  definitely
  the recommended way to writes Groovy components.
Registering
 components "by hand" from a groovy script has many drawbacks not only
 the restart one, and you should avoid doing that. The best is of course  to
  write the components in Java, and install them as
an extension. 
 I've found the ability to write small Groovy scripts as components has
 been very handy and simpler than writing full extensions in Java. For
 utilities that I don't wish to make into public extensions the burden of a
 small Groovy script into a proper extension seems prohibitive (although
 that may just be that I haven't written one yet, and I'm just a walker at
 the bottom of a hill complaining about how high it looks...). Last time I
 asked there is was no simple way to install private extensions. Also, I
 didn't have much luck writing a proper component in Groovy, which I
 sometimes prefer to Java.
