Hi,
-The topics discussed below, touches directly into what we're
dealing with
right now:
We are a telecoms operator and need to install wikis, both for
internal use
(product development, documentation, infocenter) and for external
(customer)
use.
We haven't decided which wiki to install, but are looking at DokuWiki,
Xwiki, TWiki, Mediawiki and others.
Given that we don't quite understand which Xwiki to install, and
why, and
also if Xwiki Enterprise is a commercial product or not, may lead us
to
erroneously remove Xwiki from the shortlist...
Re the different product, here's a copy paste from the home page of
xwiki.org:
* XE: "A fully-featured wiki for the Enterprise. It's also a second
generation wiki offering the ability to install and develop small
applications inside wiki pages."
* XEM: "An application to manage a farm of wikis, allowing large-scale
organization and massive scalability."
* Watch: "A social RSS reader allowing groups to collaboratively
follow information news and filter it."
Without knowing your need I can't tell you which one is more suited
for you...
Re the commercial product, as is stated on xwiki.org all the XWiki
project sources are open source and under the LGPL license. Now if you
want professional support, services, training, etc then this can be
provided by XPertNet the company which started XWiki.
What is missing that you'd like to see on the web site?
Thanks

I would say that a newcomer shouldn't look at
platform. He should
look
at XE, XEM, Watch.
Okay, let's say someone told you about xwiki to build your website,
giving you some examples like Curriki. You are interested and want to
see if it can fits your needs. You'll want to know how you can install
the product and adapt it to your needs, that may be wide.
So e.g. I want to know how to make a site like Curriki. How should I
proceed? And first, in which section should I have a look? There's
something missing here, maybe just a few words that say to me 'hey
guy,
if you want to build a website upon XWiki, it's that way!'
Or more basically, let's say that you have installed a distribution
of
XWiki Entreprise for you to test and let's even suppose that you have
clearly understood the difference between 'XWiki' and 'XWiki
Enterprise' (which is not always very clear for a newcomer if he heard
about XWiki as a something like 'MediaWiki' power 2).
Now you just want to build a new skin from scratch. Hmm... where
should
you have a look into? XWiki Entreprise or XWiki Platform? If you feel
logical, providing you've downloaded and you're using XWiki
Entreprise,
you'll have a look into the documentation for XWiki Entreprise.
Well...
wrong guess, it's in XWiki Platform.
This is the goal of the home page. What's
missing do you think?
Something like a diagram (or a table, at least), showing in a glance
which functionality is part of which product.
