Re: [xwiki-devs] [VOTE] New governance rule for xwiki.org: hosted XWiki options

Hi devs, Our rule for what we allow on xwiki.org is documented at http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/Governance The spirit is that we want to keep xwiki.org an open source project but we also want that: - it’s used to the maximum - the max number of companies invest in committers to help develop the project Thus we’ve agreed to have several parts of xwiki.org when companies having active committers on the project can advertise for business solutions (professional support, etc). In order to try to increase downloads and to improve our download page Caty and I are working on proposing some new designs (she’s already posted some and will post some more soon). See http://markmail.org/message/6wgmvwxl6h6pvogr and http://markmail.org/message/ibur6fpkyx7sq7s2 As part of this effort and in order to make it even simpler to start using XWiki (and to list all options), we’d like to refactor a bit xwiki.org so that people who come on xwiki.org and who want to use XWiki/XE can be proposed 2 alternatives: 1) download an install XWiki on premises 2) use XWiki in the cloud or as a hosted solution For 2) the idea is to propose playground.xwiki.org to try xwiki, myxwiki.org (for non profit and non supported), and solutions from companies with active committers, such as XCS from XWiki SAS (in the order with the most committers listed first, as usual). Please cast your vote. Here’s my +1 Thanks -Vincent
