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 -- Ricardo RodrÃguez CTO eBioTIC. Life Sciences, Data Modeling and Information Management Systems
