Re: [xwiki-users] Extending XWiki collaboration toolset

coldserenity wrote: I am not agree with you. Good idea - but realisation - terrible! 1. Google used some special interface functions - they thinking, that these possibilities will be web-standarts - but they got a mistake. For this reason, Wave working quickly and without problems only on Google Chrome (only this browser supports all these non-standart functions). 2. Try Wave with Firefox at simple computer (netbook for example) - cannot work on big waves (hundred messages)!!! I press one button and waiting 3-5 secunds per each symbol. It is not problem of notebook - Windows 7, MS Office working great and quickly! 3. Too many errors on scripts - every 5 minutes I got error - script bla-bla-bla stopped! I have experience with Google Wave with big waves of hundreds waves - for this reason I known what I said. However it's not the Wave I was trying to promote by this thread, it was just an example of advanced user interaction User-to-User and User-to-Wiki: advanced documents editing for most popular types of documents (text, spreadsheet, and presentation). I understand the complexity of this task (it took 20 years for Microsoft to build their MS Office), but the question is: I often consider whether to upload a MS Office file as an attachment or maintain the file's content as an XWiki page - and sooner or later someone will come up with such solution ( Open-source wiki + Open-Source Google Docs :) ). So it's not about writing some missing extension - it's about taking XWiki to the next level in terms of content editing.

I am not a developer of XWiki, but I am using XWiki 2 years and your questions are closed to me. 1. Wave is a new project (as a apache open-source project). It is started as a Google Wave, after Google "forgot it" and Wave migrated to the apache incubator. As I know for now - Wave as a independent open-source project didn't realise yet in production - for this reason, developers of other platforms right now cannot be sure exactly of future API, future functionality and other things of Wave ... Discuss about integration with it can be started after Wave will be released in a production. 2. XWiki is not only a final user-product "from the box" - is a "base" of your possible product (application). And regarding to "collaboration" XWiki can give to users more and more. For example, as a small comparison with Google Wave: - In XWiki you can add "pages" - same in Wave you can add "waves" - In XWiki you can write any comments to this page and comments to the comments (tree organized). - In XWiki you can sent messages inside XWiki - In XWiki you can attach any files to this page and you can organize view content of this files using officeviewer macro, also existing pictire viewing and charts drawing ... - In XWiki you can add tasks to this page (exist special macro) - In XWiki you can connect this page to other pages (wiki, documentation, etc) - In XWiki you can construct personal dashboards and gadgets - Also existing light calculations. If you need more calculations - you can write own macro ... What else exists in Google Wave and don't exists in XWiki? I don't know ... (maybe another idea of interface). XWiki give you more - because you can add additional macros, add additional functionality (for example blogs, forums, etc). For this reason, I think, that XWiki is enought for colaboration. Difference from Google Wave - that you need to "construct" in XWiki you own "application".
