Thanks Vincent,

Backup:

I'll look into how to do backup using HSQLDB and/or MySQL, although it would be more convienent to do it from XWiki using triggering the Export utility function to do a backup over night on a daily basis - has it got an API to do this. Would it be possible to use the Export facility to only backup pages and attachments added/modified since a certain date?

User admin:

Being in the process of adding a large number of users I found it would be useful to be able to select a users user group from a pull down menu when registering them - if no one else has then if I can figure out how to code this then I'll let people know how to do this. Did I hear that the admin side is in the process of being revamped anyway or did I mis hear?

Regards,

Richard

Hi all,

If anyone can help me with the following then you'd it would be greatly appreciated:

Backups:

Is it possible to get XWiki to automatically do a backup overnight to a specified directory?

This would be a very useful facility.

The best is to do a database backup using whatever backup tool you want.

Email capture:

Are there any plans for XWiki to store emails sent to it - like Confluence?

I haven't heard anyone working on this. However we do store RSS feeds in XWiki Watch and there's the notion of Data Source so it should be possible to implement a Mail Data Source pretty easily I guess.

Registration:

The email registration/confirmation doesn't seem to work - is there any detailed documentation on how this process would work?

I haven't used it myself so I don't know. I don't think this is documented on xwiki.org but it would be nice to document it there. When you find out how to do it it would be nice if you could help document it.

Have you searched the xwiki mail archives? The next step if nobody knows will be to check the sources :)

Thanks
