Hi Vincent, People who are interested in free xwiki and want to use it as an experimental tool can download it and play with it. It costs nothing for them. As far as I have seen that students and other such individuals seldom become paying customers. They typically use for project work etc.
I think hosted solution should focus on paying customers only unless you want to test the scalability of xwiki real time by giving free access.
Following this reasoning, how does Netcipia (http:// www.netcipia.net)fit in the proposed schema?
Netcipia is another farm that could be seen as a kind of competitor to this new xwiki.org farm. However there are some differences: * the xwiki.org farm will be using the default UI (same as XWiki Enterprise) and the same features * it'll be supported by the xwiki community * it'll have latest versions installed at all times * there's no business model behind this xwiki.org farm I think the target is really different. Netcipia's idea is to propose ways for users to sell their content online whereas this farm will be more for hosting "intranets"/"web sites". Anyway the free xwiki.org farm is not fully decided yet. I'd like to see more opinions form the xwiki users and dev community about it. Thanks -Vincent
