Re: [xwiki-users] [request] Comparing XWiki to other solutions

Hi! Peter McLarty wrote: You can register yourself in xwiki.org to be able to edit this and most of the available documents! :-) As for WikiMatrix, I do agree with Vicent and Sergiu and I'm not sure if we have a clear idea about what this thread is for. The original objective was: we would like to polish XWiki based on features available at other solutions and that we would like to have them available within XWiki. For doing this it is obvious that we need to know this "other alternative" and be able to describe what feature we would like to be developed in XWiki. If this is true, won't be better to complete the survey on XWiki features available at... http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/SurveyXWikiFeatures ... allowing to add an example of a different product including it? For instance, compare these entries: Microblogging (twitter-like in your wiki) Form Builder (easily create forms in XWiki) The first one includes an "example": ala Twitter. The second, doesn't. The idea is to allow users to enter products they are thinking about when requiring/ranking a new feature. I think I'm just following a previous message from Sergiu and adding a reference to this already available survey. I think also that it would be useful to add categories to that features definitions and, by the end, we will end with some kind of wizard leading to a "Collaborative Environment Choice Wizard" ala WikiMatrix's Wiki Choice Wizard :-) WikiMatrix compares only a very limited set of features not including, as far as I see, application development and all those rich features allowing XWiki to compete, for instance, with CMS or social network software. We are not working on a "classical wiki", we are working on a development framework based on wiki philosophy. Thanks! -- Ricardo Rodríguez CTO eBioTIC.
