[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Comparing XWiki to MediaWiki and Confluence on xwiki.org
Hi, Since we had users asking on the IRC what are the differences between XWiki and other solutions, it would be a good idea to provide such pages on the website: - XWiki and MediaWiki http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Drafts/XWiki-vs-MediaWiki - XWiki and Confluence http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Drafts/XWiki-vs-Confluence It would be great to know if you agree with the listed content and if you find other similarities or distinctions between the above solutions. Additionally, what other solutions would you be interested in seeing comparison with? Thanks, Caty

+1, I think those are 2 well know wiki solutions and it’s interesting to know how XWiki compares to them. FTR Gregory Gueneau had started something like this a very long time ago but we never finalised it: http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Drafts/XWiki+competitors I haven’t fully read the 2 pages yet but form what I’ve seen so far, it looks of good quality. There are some little stuff to improve here and there but we can do that easily.

I think it’s already good to start with. Thanks -Vincent
Thanks, Caty
Any way to make it look better? Why are the features with a name before in each column? Also, the "Source: Wikimatrix" statement is not clearly attached to the section above it or below it. If there are extra softwares to aim at, would it make sense to add SharePoint, Office365 and Google Apps? Paul

+1, they looks good On Fri, May 13, 2016 at 5:05 PM, Ecaterina Moraru (Valica) <[email protected]> wrote:

I think having Dokuwiki would be nice since it's often one of the first used wiki in Open Source.

Hi, I’ve spoken with Caty and I’d like to explain a bit more this idea. The goal is to “market” XWiki as the best alternative to Confluence or MediaWiki on the home page, in a carousel slide. Those are two very well known wikis and we think it’s interesting to position XWiki as alternatives to them and have the 2 pages proposed by Caty to explain why XWiki is a good alternative. Here’s the current text: http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Carousel/Section4 Any idea/feedback is welcome. Thanks -Vincent
