Apparently I sent this to the wrong list first - I just went off the information on the wiki site.. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Henrik Østerlund Gram <[email protected]> Date: May 15, 2005 6:06 AM Subject: status and direction To: [email protected] Hello, I've been looking for a wiki both for my personal use as a private knowledge db and business use for the company I work for. Currently we use the well-known phpWiki, which is fine in many respects but lack 1) attachments and 2) access restrictions which are crucial in both of my uses. I stumbled across xwiki, installed it and it looks somewhat promissing thus far. A few questions comes to mind: 1. Since the latest release is dated back in january, I'm wondering if it is still being actively developed? How many are working on it? 2. I'm seeing a lot of errors in the log regarding xwiki's use of the hibernate package; mostly assertion failures, 'Exception while deleting object', nonthreadsafe access to session, ... 3. I'm also seeing these errors for every page every time: 05:36:40,456 WARN http-8080-Processor17 http://10.255.1.1:8080/xwiki/bin/view/Main/WebHome XWikiStatsServiceImpl:addCookie:466 - Setting cookie BPKBLIBSZICKFADT4TP9DBNFRR4EAKJY for name visitid with domain null and path / and maxage -136366 05:36:40,458 WARN http-8080-Processor17 http://10.255.1.1:8080/xwiki/bin/view/Main/WebHome XWikiStatsServiceImpl:findVisit:306 - Found visit with cookie SSHDY9HF4LBBYCE8ACVJ5O2A5OEXVBEC in session 6288D7442AD591E4FED5FE4670386255 for request with cookie BPKBLIBSZICKFADT4TP9DBNFRR4EAKJY 4. I'm a little confused about the access rights as they work right now. Basicly what I'm looking for is being able have a bunch of people devided into groups like 'sysadmins', 'sales' and 'support' - for example. The sysadmins will have a private place to store information about network configuration, fileservers, passwords, etc.. the sales people will read and update productinformation, notes about customers, ... and the support people can see status reports from the sysadmins but obviously not access sensetive information from sysadmins or sales. Is this possible today? When I was trying to make the wiki totally private, the only thing that happened was the layout was screwed up, but the content was accessible.. what is the difference between Space rights/prefs and Wiki rights/prefs btw? The only 'major' drawback I've seen so far is that it seems really slow... I don't know if that is because of the errors above or something else. In any case, I think it has good potential and is something I might like to contribute to. Is there a development roadmap of sorts?
