[xwiki-users] URL Filtering and XWiki License

[Ricardo Esquito]

Hi Ian,

Thank you for your answer and sorry for taking so long to aswer.

After some "thinking" we decided to develop a new skin from scratch, 
because of the project scheduling and some specific client requirements. 
Altough, just like you said in your aswer "... I upgrade XWiki  I must 
redo the work...", this may bring some minor issues, we think that´s the 
best path to follow at this moment. We were able to deploy XWiki to 
Jetspeed and Vignette ( under Weblogic 8.1 ) using SqlServer with only a 
few changes in configuration files.
