Hi devs,
Since Eduard has developed the workspaces module (see
http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Workspace+Application
)
I'd like to push for using it in our XEM
distribution.
However there are 2 valid uses cases that exist:
1) Using XE + workspaces, for creating workspaces (technically each
workspace being a wiki)
2) Using XE as a wiki farm
I think that use case 1) is the main use case for most people and this
vote is about keeping the XEM packaging/branding but repurposing so that
XEM implements use case 1). Use case 2) exists but it's less frequent and
for more technically advanced users.
So here's my proposal (and what you should vote on):
A) XEM = app manager module + wiki manager module + workspaces module(s).
XEM home page becomes the workspaces app home page. We update
manager.xwiki.org to align it with the fact that it now boasts the
workspaces features.
Does it means that it is similar to now, except that the workspaces module
is loaded and welcome you ?
If you do not use it, and access the wiki manager, is there any issue, or
could you administer a farm ?
The Wiki Manager would still be there but not initially visible. All the
modules which allow running a farm would still be there.

B) On
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Virtualizationwe keep
documenting how to transform XE into a wiki farm
C) We create an application in
xwiki-platform-core/ that contains the
current pages located in XEM (home page + the other pages). We could call
it xwiki-platform-multiwiki
D) Users who want to install xwiki-platform-multiwiki easily will use the
Extension Manager UI when it's ready for general consumption
E) Users who want to install xwiki-platform-workspace easily will use the
Extension Manager UI when it's ready for general consumption. At this
point
we'll decide if we want to drop the XEM
distribution or keep both ways of
installing it.
Here'd my +1
Thanks
-Vincent
