[xwiki-users] wiki for documentation and planning projects

Hi all, I am considering XWiki for a collaborative mapping IT infrastructure and planning changes. The idea behind that is as follows: few times a year, a team of central architecture group and organization units specific stakeholders want to review the existing infrastructure map, requirements collected in third party tools and propose changes. My tool should support only this documentation and planning part, implementation of proposed changes would be supported by other tools. If I use a wiki to manage such a documentation and planning project, I need pages for individual documents, I need some index pages for different kinds of documents, and I need also pages for project metadata (team members, milestones, processes). Also, I need a set of templates to generate stubs of new projects easily. Perhaps such a project could be implemented as a wiki space, and there could be an extra wiki space as a template. I am very new to Xwiki, so I would like to ask the more experienced users: - Does my idea of mapping projects to spaces sense? - Is Xwiki suitable for that? - Is it possible to define something like a template space and customize the new space wizard to use such a template? One more question: is there any mechanism/best-practice how to keep my Xwiki extensions (plugins, Xwiki classes, templates, ...) isolated somehow to make future upgrades of Xwiki as easy as possible? thanks a lot, Pavel _______________________________________________ users mailing list users(a)xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users
