Hello! while I've been frustrated form installing mediawiki... I found XWIKI....The installation was easy and straight-forward then I encountered with an excellent tool for my job: I am not a administrating and I don't want Online wiki so much (at least for 1-2 year)... currently I just need a wiki for my personal use: 1) is XWIKI a good choice for someone like me?
Yep XWiki is a very good wiki but also a platform to develop on new applications (applications here http://code.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Applications/) using scripting languages (groovy, velocity) more info here<http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/SecondGenerationWiki> , of course the raison d'etre of XWiki or wikis in general is collaborative editing/working
If you need speed, security and simplicity for a large production system then I think Mediawiki is your best bet (although there are some large systems running XWiki).
hmm is it simpler to install/use mediawiki? If so what we can do to change that? Does the simple user/advanced user not solve this issue? (we need to know why mediawiki is "simpler" first to tackle the problem). Re speed/security I don't know enough to judge. Thanks -Vincent
If you need flexibility, features and ease of use/installation, then you've come to the right place. Keep in mind Wikipedia's functionality largely comes from some 700 bots which maintain the site. In XWiki this could all be done in script on the server.
