Hi All,
We are very pleased to inform you that we packaged our map solution, Just Map It!, as a
XWiki extension.
This extension shows an interactive map of wiki pages and tags for any XWiki space.
It is divided in 2 components :
- a REST addon that exposes the wiki pages and tags of a given XWiki space
- a xar package that contains a velocity macro and the Just Map It! flash client.
The map is generated on a dedicated Just Map It! server, which get the necessary data by
calling the REST service installed by the extension.
We worked with the Xwiki team on a snapshot of the
xwiki.org extension website
(
http://extensions.xwiki.org)
A demo is available at
http://dev.social-computing.com:8280/xwiki/
An authentication is required :
- login : demo
- password : scdemo
This demo displays a map of all available xwiki extensions linked by the tags that were
assigned by extensions developers.
It gives a good overview of all existing extensions and the relations between these
extensions.
Additional navigation actions are proposed to the users on the map :
- Center on one particular item
- Show all the extensions that contain a specific tag
- Display the wiki page of an extension or a tag
Another map is generated on a each tag's wiki page.
This map shows the tags that are close to the selected one.
We would very much appreciate your feedbacks and advice on how to make the map available
to all
xwiki.org users on the extensions website.
This is great :)
If you wish you could create an extension entry on
extensions.xwiki.org for your
extension. You could link to your web site from there too if you wish.
IMO the best for you would be to make the code downloadable directly from
extensions.xwiki.org since this would allow anyone to easily install your extension
directly from XE by using the new Extension Manager.
Is your software open source? Does it require a license? If so you could ask for the
license after the software installed.
Anyway these are just. I'd need to know more about your "business model" to
provide more ideas.
Thanks
