Hello,
I have been putting a lot of time into researching and testing wiki's to use
for a work and document collaboration intranet for our non-profit
organization that has highly non-technical users. After tested hosted wikis
and installing about 4 different wikis (mediawiki, pmwiki, wikkawiki, etc)
on our hosted web server ( startlogic.com), and not being happy, I tried a
xwiki.com wiki and I like the functunality and features. It does not seem
possible to install xwiki on a hosted web server (correct me if I am wrong)
, so I have some questions about the free xwiki I am currently using:
1. How much storage space does it offer per file and for the the whole
wiki? What other limits are there to the free version? As an under-funded
non-profit we are unable to afford a professional hosted version.
For the moment,
it's not limited. But if you abuse, we will limit it.
the document size is not limited.
2. I am a big fan of hosted services (gmail, salesforce, writely, etc.) but
xwiki.com is not quite that large and known of a service host. If we
actually decide to built our intranet on xwiki.com, will we run into
problems with downtime? How high are the risks of the servers being shut
down and losing all critical data?
The uptime of xwiki.com is pretty good. It's
hosted on a cluster now.
But we are not like google, we can't tell you there will be no
downtown.
After, we have an hosting offer for non-profit association at 60$/month.
3. Currently we are without time or resources to setup our own server, but
eventually may want to set up our own server to run it. Will it be possible
to port our hosted xwiki onto our own server without losing data?
Yes, it's
possible to export the datas.
