Thanks for the lead Sergiu,
I'll probably have a local installation too, as i did with the Drupal CMS
i'm discovering (with a Bitnami stack) ; very useful for me to try things
out before going online, and also to test import/export of datas and other
stuff. But the goal is also to have other friends of mine go and play inside
XWiki workspaces, i.e. use the wiki for what it's for... and i have to say
that beeing some kind of a "pronetarian", according to the french
prospectivist Joël De Rosnay's neologism
(http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pron%C3%A9taire), it's quite a challenge for
me to have a publicly accessible server, running the proper environnement...
so relying on your hosting services is a must, without saying that i feel
better joining the community here and there, and see the big picture
evolvments.
So thank you tooVincent, for the opening of explorateursduweb.myxwiki.org
:-)

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.
