I still have the feeling you guys are considering
XWiki as a single
Wiki product. It's not. It's more similar to Eclipse which has a
platform and products based on it.
Then I think this should be made even more clear on the front page.
Many
of the links are related to xwiki enterprise, which is confusing:
1) In the XWiki Ecosystem panel, there is a link "Playground (test
drive
XWiki)". This should probably be "test drive XWiki Enterprise". In
fact,
maybe it shouldn't be there at all, but appear when you navigate to
the
enterprise site (in the Quick Links panel, which maybe should be
titled
"XWiki Enterprise").
2) In the General Links panel, same goes for screenshots. As far as I
can see, all screenshots are from Enterprise instances.
3) Isn't the FAQ really just about the enterprise product? When
searching the FAQ page, the words "platform", "manager" and watch
doesn't appear once. It fits well into the "Quick Links" panel on the
enterprise site.
No wonder we're confused ;)
I agree with all these points. I'll work on ironing this out in the
coming week(s). The reason it's not perfect is easy to understand:
* it's a transition from XE only to XE + platform + other products so
lots of links are coming from XE
* I was under pressure to finish a first version of
xwiki.org before
Javapolis 2007. I'm just back from Javapolis and I'll now slowly tune
and finish what I didn't have time to finish.
For 1), 2 other solutions:
a) we could change the "Download" image/link to "Download / Test" and
move the playground link in there somewhere.
b) create a page that lists all running instances of xwiki products
that can be used for testing.
For 2), the screenshots are coming from the Refrences page and the
idea is to add a Product information to each Reference page.
For 3), same, a Product field should be added.
