Good idea.
Idea: maybe we could kill 2 birds with one stone and making this a getting started tutorial that would be on xwiki.org in the user guide and we would package that same tutorial in XE as a default installed application. I really think we shouldn't duplicate the information from xwiki.org but instead package it (or a subset of it - like just the getting started tutorial) inside the default XE.
Sure. I have one question though: if included in XE, this User Guide will have to be available in the wiki's language if it's not english. I can write in a GettingStarted space on enterprise.xwiki.org, but where can I / should I put the translations? At a higher abstraction level: which deployment strategy should we pursue for this? From another wiki to XWiki.org & the default XAR? From XWiki.org to the default XAR? Something else? Guillaume

Hi,
Ludovic pointed out to me that many wikis include some kind of tutorial space explaining what a wiki is and how it can be used. I have checked PBWiki & Confluence and both of them include a couple pages explaining what's a wiki. On top of this, the current homepage, which included some information about what a wiki is and what it can be used for, will soon be replaced by a nicer one with way less content.
Thus I'd like to contribute a XAR with 4-5 pages helping new users getting started with our wiki. Here's what I'd envision for the XAR's contents:
- What's a wiki and what can it be used for - Edit a page and create a link - Change your wiki's logo and move the panels around - Protect the wiki (basic rights setup for a couple configurations: public / private wiki)
Basically the first steps most XWiki users will undertake when arriving on a blank XWiki Enterprise instance.
Thus I'd like your PoW on 1) the idea itself & 2) contents to include (keep in mind that this should stay short though). If it's welcomed positively, do I need to send a vote?
If the idea is accepted I'll handle the technical details with JV & Ludo.
Thanks,
Guillaume
