Re: [xwiki-users] State of the XWiki Community

Sorry for animating this old thread, just wanted this to be in one place with the relevant rest. I've had an idea cross my mind today about promoting XWiki. It's hard to imagine more or less serious software project nowadays that could survive without: * Requirements tracking (Wiki) * Issue tracking [with agile tools] * Code Review * Continuous integration * Code metrics tracking * IDE integration (Eclipse, IntelliJ IDEA) In non free-ware world the ultimate ruler is Atlassian set of products. In the open source world the niche is still not taken. Yes, there are tools like IceScrum (which btw as well originates from France), XWiki, Jenkins (former Hudson), Review Board (yet it's not on Java), Sonar. There are even integration attempts e.g. Trac (wiki+bug tracking+code review) But all those tools are either written on different platforms (which is a real maintenance pain) or are not integrated as good as Atlassian set of tools is. If an Alliance of open-source projects is to emerge one day to cover the gap described above, it would better be XWiki, responsible for the wiki and page rendering part in the integration. So what XWiki development community could do in this regard, is to take the initiative of establishing this Alliance and leading it towards integration with XWiki. Current visible set of tasks is * Create list of available JAVA (!) open-source project covering different aspects of the integration (e.g. Sonar is best in code metrics, Jenkins - in continuous integration etc.) * Contact the development teams of the above projects and negotiate the initiative * Analyze code-bases for integration opportunities Hope you'll find this interesting.
