Re: [xwiki-users] Volunteers needed to write articles (was Re: State of the XWiki Community)

Vincent, I guess you are right. I've written so thinking more of technical articles (which I would have been able to do only having vast XWiki development experience). However I could post my recent presentation on next-gen collaboration wikis and mention xwiki as the only open-source wiki with architecture that's capable of adopting those changes. I could also try to post an overview on habrahabr.ru, but that sure will take a lot longer. I can also do translations to Ukrainian and Russian. Currently cannot give any commitments on the timeframes, but I am interested in taking part in the articles writing and when ready I shall send those for your review. Following is the list of topics I could think of but lack experience to nicely present the information * XWiki architectural scalability. How good modularity results in extensibility * Maven best practices in XWiki * Wiki in the cloud ** An overview of techniques used for building XWiki farm where you currently grant people online wikis by request ** Article describing how you would configure cluster of XWikis for handling high-load (something like "how to build XWikipedia") * Distributed teamwork on XWiki project (that should end-up at some managerial site) * Work with the community (Vincent's recent post about the survey taken in 2009, collective voting) So basically the idea behind all that is take all the good things you have, put them into article and mention XWiki :) Roman -----Original Message----- From: users-bounces(a)xwiki.org [mailto:users-bounces@xwiki.org] On Behalf Of Vincent Massol Sent: Saturday, January 21, 2012 15:34 PM To: XWiki Users Subject: [xwiki-users] Volunteers needed to write articles (was Re: State of the XWiki Community) Hi Roman, On Jan 21, 2012, at 12:57 PM, Roman Muntyanu wrote: Indeed. Except that it's not "you" but "we" (as in "we" the xwiki community). Everyone here is part of the xwiki community. Note that the XWiki SAS company (http://xwiki.com) does its own marketing (re the cloudbees integration for example it did quite a lot but mostly in French: http://www.google.fr/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=cloudbees+xw… ) I completely that the XWiki open source project is not very good at doing "tech marketing". Everyone in the community can do it and the XWiki committers too but very few of them do any advertising of XWiki in web site articles, speak at conferences, blog posts, etc. I do quite a few talks but mostly are in France (where I'm based). So let's see: who would be wiling to write some article about a part of XWiki? That would be a very nice way for XWiki users to contribute something back to help the open source project.
