In my humble opinion, a "virtual wiki" is a xwiki installation that enables
to manage a farm of wikis.
See
http://manager.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Installation
*Set your wiki as "virtual" to allow multiple wikis*
A farm is composed of a "main wiki" (the controller) and a lot of
"wikis".
Theses terms seem to constitute the "official" vocabulary of the xwiki
product.
In my words, a sub-wiki is just a simple wiki of the farm.
The words "Local" and "Global" apply to users and groups. Global
means :
"present in the main wiki", Local means : "present in a wiki (not the
main
one)"
I think that what sounds weird to me here is the adjective virtual
applied to that sub-wikis. It is not less "virtual" the controller than
any of the wikis being controlled, at some extent, by it. I think I feel
myself more confortable speaking about a *wikisystem* or a *wikiscape
*(perhaps XWikisystem or XWikiscape better than a XWiki Ecosystem) where
relationships of dependence between wikis and objects within wikis need
to be defined. Well, that seems more related with philosophy or
anthropology then with computer science.
No idea,
sorry. I've not faced this kind of challenges yet. What I
understand here is that you want to have virtual wikis administrators
that won't be able to create local users, am I right? This will be
welcome also here.
Yes exactly.
I see what you want here. In fact, this morning I had a good example
that required this solution: I would need a so called administrator for
a wiki that has not rights to modify the composition of the community
(won't be able to create local users) although is trusted to organize
documents/objects within that wiki.
Don't you thing it deserves a Jira idea?
It doesn't show any result for me too, this is why
I created the issue
XAADMINISTRATION-167.
Sorry, I must concentrate on Jira and forget other topics!
Cheer,
Ricardo
