Hi Sergiu
Actually there is already one: XABLOG-22
You are assigned to this problem. If you did not start working on this I would like to get my hands dirty here.
Feel free to play with it.
Yes. You need to go to http://madplanet.com/bin/edit/Blog/RssCode?editor=wiki and replace the content at line 113:
<title>$title</title> -> replace $title with the content of your choice
then save the page. It's no a perfect solution but it will work in your case. No this is not the right way. You go to the blog home page and edit objects. Then change the title. I tried Guillaume's link above but got an 404.
Actually I figured out that the 'xwiki' context was missing.
Thanks. I think slowing I am getting the hang of it on how to use XWiki. The first steps are always the hardest. Thanks for not giving up easily.
Well, I started my first steps in open-source back when Richard Oeberg was still working on JBoss. So I am used not to give up too early, on the other hand I have some much to do including 4 kids that sometimes I just cannot afford to spend days after days on something just for fun.
On the other hand I really think that XWiki needs a 1/2 hour primer that explains how to install it, how to do basic configuration and how to customize it. I slowly see the hidden features of XWiki but I can imagine that for many that hurdle is too high and so they give up early.
See http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XE-392 , this is planned. It's more a user getting started guide, we'd probably need to add some more administration information to it.
It's actually already written here: http://enterprise.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/GettingStarted/ Feedback and improvement ideas are most welcome. Thanks -Vincent
I was playing around with Liferay for a while and it is easy to get started and to bring a web site to life. But then many of their features are so limited like Blog, Wiki, Content Management that I stopped using it. That said I would love if XWiki could distribute a Version bundled with Jetty and a basic configuration already installed. Even yesterday when I started to push XWiki to the production server I couldn't remember why I couldn't login until I click on the Administrator button (top right) where I finally was redirected to the Import page. Such a bundle together with a short introduction to the XWiki environment would help many users to go over the initial hump where the start to appreciate XWiki a lot.
We have such a bundle, the default distribution package consists of XWiki + Jetty + HSQLDB. It is very easy to use (we even have a .jar installer for all the platforms, and a .exe for Windows), and many users appreciated this package for its ease of use compared to the installation instructions for other wikis. The problem with it is that it is not meant for production use, so sooner or later a sysadmin will have to get his hands dirty with the war and the installation/administration documentation.
