Pardon my ignorance ..
I thought that XEM and Watch worked by running on top of XE? Can they
run independantly as well?

Hi,
-The topics discussed below, touches directly into what we're dealing
with right now:
We are a telecoms operator and need to install wikis, both for
internal use (product development, documentation, infocenter) and for
external
(customer)
use.
We haven't decided which wiki to install, but are looking at DokuWiki,
Xwiki, TWiki, Mediawiki and others.
Given that we don't quite understand which Xwiki to install, and why,
and also if Xwiki Enterprise is a commercial product or not, may lead
us to erroneously remove Xwiki from the shortlist...
Re the different product, here's a copy paste from the home page of
xwiki.org:
* XE: "A fully-featured wiki for the Enterprise. It's also a second
generation wiki offering the ability to install and develop small
applications inside wiki pages."
* XEM: "An application to manage a farm of wikis, allowing large-scale
organization and massive scalability."
* Watch: "A social RSS reader allowing groups to collaboratively follow
information news and filter it."
Without knowing your need I can't tell you which one is more suited for
you...
Re the commercial product, as is stated on xwiki.org all the XWiki
project sources are open source and under the LGPL license. Now if you
want professional support, services, training, etc then this can be
provided by XPertNet the company which started XWiki.
What is missing that you'd like to see on the web site?
Thanks
-Vincent

website,
I would say that a newcomer shouldn't look at
platform. He should
look at XE, XEM, Watch.
Okay, let's say someone told you about xwiki to build your giving you some examples like Curriki. You are
interested and want to
see if it can fits your needs. You'll want to know how you can install
the product and adapt it to your needs, that may be
wide.
So e.g. I want to know how to make a site like Curriki. How
should I
proceed? And first, in which section should I have a
look? There's
something missing here, maybe just a few words that say to me 'hey
guy, if you want to build a website upon XWiki, it's that way!'
Or more basically, let's say that you have installed a
distribution
of XWiki Entreprise for you to test and let's even
suppose that you
have clearly understood the difference between 'XWiki' and 'XWiki
Enterprise' (which is not always very clear for a newcomer if he heard
about XWiki as a something like 'MediaWiki'
power 2).
Now you just want to build a new skin from scratch. Hmm... where
should you have a look into? XWiki Entreprise or XWiki
Platform? If
you feel logical, providing you've downloaded and you're using XWiki
Entreprise, you'll have a look into the documentation for XWiki
Entreprise.
Well...
wrong guess, it's in XWiki Platform.
glance
This is the goal of the home page. What's
missing do you think?
Something like a diagram (or a table, at least), showing in a which functionality is part of which product.
