Hi all,
I've been looking for a wiki that simple MS Office users can use. XWord is
a brilliant idea and my friends jumped into it like ducks into a pond! The
familiarity of the MS Word really helped break down the barriers of
learning
wikis.
However, I am totally confused about what version of XWord should be
installed.
On the one hand, there is this version that I assume is old:
http://xoffice.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/XWord/
the links point to IP addresses rather than a host name!!
That is a page for an alpha version. Thanks for pointing it out. The links
to the old address have been removed.
then there is two versions here:
http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/Download#HXWikiOffice
For "XOffice 1.2 M1", the link points to XWord 1.0
For "XOffice 1.1.1", the link points to XWord 1.1
so the "Latest" seems to give me an older
version. I believe this is the
one that I installed, and we have found problems with uploading images from
XWord.
We are going to try the other version, but now I'd like to know: where is
version 1.2M1 ? Which one should I be using?
The links on the download page are correct. The installer always downloads
the latest version of the "stable" and "latest" branches. Active
instances
are also updated when a new version is released.
The "XWord1.0" part of the url does not specify the version. The 1.2 M1
binaries are actually downloaded from
".../XWord1.0.zip/Application%20Files/XWord_1_2_0_131/". From this point of
view v1.2 is seen as an update to previous versions.
I checked the RoadMap, it looks a bit out of date. Is there anyone working
on XWord? This is a killer feature! I don't see any other wikis with this
sort of feature.
I am the main developer of XOffice, but its development hasn't seem much
activity in the past months.
There seem to be some issues when using XOffice with newer XWiki versions.
These will be fixed in the future but I cannot give a clear date of the next
release at this point as I am focusing on other XWiki SAS responsibilities.
Thanks,
Florin Ciubotaru
cheers
Paul
