Re: [xwiki-users] Tag/baseline for wiki or space

Thanks for hint Vincent, these options are indeed possible and I considered them (didn't know that svn integration is already available). But trick is to not break usability. So that you can just switch between "tagged" content and "trunk" without a need to overwrite "trunk" by imported XAR, or update to revision from svn, or have another server for deploying tags as this will definitely provoke conflicts. For simple user that's it: switch mode, navigate in tagged/baselined content. I guess it may not even require version control system like svn underneath if we have all history in database anyway. Is it in general possible to introduce such a feature that will for all read-only actions (view, export) provide only "tagged" content? If possible how much efforts may it need? Did someone else experience a need in such a feature for a groupware (which wiki belongs to as for me)?
