Clarification: If I read right, the manager tool is installed as a separate wiki?

It is, however since the development is modular you could also transform an existing wiki into a XEM wiki by: * adding virtual=1 in xwiki.cfg + generally speaking configure your wiki as is explained on the virtualization page on xwiki.org * installing the app manager and wiki manager plugins * import the XEM XAR Is that correct Thomas? Maybe we should document this too in the release notes? WDYT? Thanks -Vincent

The XWiki development team is pleased to announce the release of XWiki Enterprise Manager (XEM) 1.0 Milestone 1.

XEM is a special wiki (based on XWiki Enterprise) used to manage a farm of sub-wikis. It has an interface to create new sub-wikis from templates, delete wikis, view all created wikis, etc. Basically it's meant to implement the feature previously known as "Virtual Wikis", but as a product and with a UI.

Features in 1.0M1:

* XEM install page (XemManager.Install): o Update XWikiPreferences with all application translations pages bundled with XEM o Create the default wiki template based on XE * All Wiki Manager 1.0 Milestone 1 features: o Create new empty wiki o Create new wiki from template wiki o Create new wiki from XAR file * All Application Manager 1.0 Milestone 1 features: o Create new application descriptor o Delete application descriptor o Export application based on XWiki Package internal plugin o Import application based on XWiki Package internal plugin o Support applications dependencies o Children wikis can reference documents located in the template wiki, thus preventing content duplication and easing maintenance o Support translations documents
