Hello,
I'dl like to have a myxwiki opened.
What for : it's been a while i try to foster (my 2 cents) the use of wikis,
and today mainly through the Explorateursduweb'collective's actions, that
consist into explaining potential users, the advantages of some of the web
tools and technologies (basically it's all about trying to explain things in
a plain language). With that in mind, i am from time to time led to answer
that question :"which wiki should or could i use ?". And because i am a
consciensous guy, i only talk about what i know, so when i 've not had the
opportunity to play around with a tool/software, i just don't talk about it.
And i fell it's quite a pitty regarding XWiki, because i) it's a french team
; ii) it seems to be a nice bunch of people ; and iii) the programmable
facet of XWiki surely makes it a must... and some people have already asked
me for that kind of functionnalities... but again i need to play with it
first, before talking about it.
2nd potential use : for the Explorateursduweb themselves (though not sure at
all, yet)
Since XWiki provides a simple package suited for fast experimentation,
you could download the zip distribution, unpack it and run it (less than
1 minute until you have the wiki up and running). Of course, we tried to
make the web interface as powerful as possible, so there are little
things you cannot modify directly from the web. Don't read this message
as a hint not to use the myxwiki farm, but just as a helpful tip. Most
people expect lots of work when installing a web application, but XWiki
has this nice distribution where you just unpack and run.
