Hi for all,
there is one more way having XWiki in mobile device:

Hi Pablo,
So you want to make xwiki core to be J2ME compatible?
For the time being I am just investigating the J2ME possibility.
I currently see two general ways of having XWiki in a mobile device:
* XWiki run on a server, the device uses a standard browser to
interact. No need for J2ME, some changes (Skin, plugins, ...)
will probably be necessary so that XWiki is nice to use in
mobile. * Run XWiki or a stripped version of XWiki in the
device.
This gives us more possibilities: a disconnected
mode, better exploiting the device features (camera, tactile
screen, etc.)
If we go for the second one, one possibility is J2ME, either by
porting the entire XWiki core, or by reusing the needed XWiki
parts to build a small XWiki version for mobiles.
I think the component oriented architecture proposed by Vincent
would greatly help to do this. Indeed we could build a XWiki for
mobiles taking only the components we need, maybe replacing some
of them by mobile friendly version while avoiding a fork from the
standard XWiki.
Anyways this project is only starting, so I am really interested
in your ideas and opinions,
Pablo
