Hello,
I'm hoping someone else can help respond to my inquiring about integration
options of XWiki with Sakai. Guillaume Lerouge had responded with 3
options (thank you Guillaume). I was interested in learning more about one
of the options, which I couldn't find any mention of on
XWiki.org. This is
the option:
- Expose XWiki through gadgets and keep the wiki separated from Sakai
I found mention of a GSOC project to add gadget capability to XWiki, but I
could not see anything about exposing XWiki as a gadget. This option is
of interest as the next major release of Sakai is looking to support
Shindig (OpenSocial) which would make supporting gadgets and possibly
XWiki a lot easier and provide a good road map for support in Sakai3.
Any feedback would be appreciated.

Hi Guillaume,
Of the three possible approaches that you summarized I think exposing
XWiki as a gadget would be worthwhile looking into further. This would
keep XWiki separate from Sakai. We would look at using the Shindig
(OpenSoical) implementation as the container and then integrating XWiki
as
a gadget within an iframe within Sakai. Does this
sound reasonable?
Would
you be able to point me to some documentation
regarding XWiki as a
gadget
or provide any other information that would help me in
better
understanding what would be involved with such an integration approach?
I lack the technical skills needed to answer this in more detail but I'm
pretty confident that others will chime in and help you get this question
answered.
Guillaume
Thank you.

Ok.
XWiki is an option that we are considering and wanted to reach out to
the
> XWiki community to see if this was something of
interest. Sakai is
also
developed in
Java and makes sense to use XWiki's Java API. I think at
this point in time we would like to see if a similar integration with
another product has been done before and also to see if we could get
support from the XWiki community for issues that arise during the
integration process.
I'm sure that XWiki devs would be happy to answer your questions and
point
you to the relevant resources when it comes to
integrating it with
Sakai.
There are 3 potential level of integration that I can
see:
- Embed XWiki as a whole into Sakai with a custom-built interface
- Expose XWiki through gadgets and keep the wiki separated from Sakai
- Use XWiki's rendering + WYSIWYG editor modules to build a simple
wiki
inside Sakai
Which of those options sounds best to you?
As for similar integrations, I remember a member of the community
integrated
XWiki with magnolia, and there's also part of an integration with
eXoPortal
if that is of any help.
Guillaume
Any feedback would be appreciated.
