Re: [xwiki-users] State of the XWiki Community

<snip> I agree, hit the US and Canadian markets as Xwiki has the potential to become huge out there. Actually living in the UK and then taking a 2 year sabbatical to Turkey I would have thought that opensource in the US and Canada were going to be much larger then anywhere in Europe...... since most opensource projects kind of kick-start out there and there is a huge following of Linux/BSD among other things. Turkey I can definitely say is a 99.9999% MS based environment with almost everybody using Sharepoint as the - wiki, mainsite, collaboration suite etc.... - actually I went out there as a UNIX engineer and ended up an MS slave as my first position was as a Sharepoint admin. Afterwards when I went to en enterprise grade investment company they even used Sharepoint there even though I tried to politically incline them towards opensource source especially Xwiki but in their own terms: 'there was no support as mailing lists aren't considered support and nobody would understand how to work it'. In the UK while job hunting I do express my knowledge in Xwiki to any company I come into contact with and again the response usually is 'We use Sharepoint in this firm'. It's just unfortunate that I am not in a senior (or any) position here with a bunch of contacts in the same place as I definitely would try to get Xwiki on the map! I must sincerely appologies for this as I am a huge fan of Xwiki - bar the inability to upgrade versions currently but that's still a work in progress ;-) But if there's anything I can do to help the project I will in anyway I can!
