Hello!
while I've been frustrated form installing mediawiki... I found
XWIKI....The
installation was easy and straight-forward then I encountered with an
excellent tool for my job:
I am not a administrating and I don't want Online wiki so much (at least
for
1-2 year)... currently I just need a wiki for my personal use:
1) is XWIKI a good choice for someone like me?
Yep XWiki is a very good wiki but also a platform to develop on new
applications (applications here
http://code.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Applications/) using scripting
languages (groovy, velocity) more info
here<http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/SecondGenerationWiki&…
,
of course the raison d'etre of XWiki or wikis in general is collaborative
editing/working
If you need speed, security and simplicity for a large production
system then
I think Mediawiki is your best bet (although there are some large systems running
XWiki).
hmm is it simpler to install/use mediawiki?
If so what we can do to change that? Does the simple user/advanced user not solve this
issue? (we need to know why mediawiki is "simpler" first to tackle the problem).
No installing Mediawiki is definitely not easy ;)
As I understand it, the code base is much smaller which means there is less for an
admin to worry about in a large production system (less to worry about going wrong).
I want to see people using XWiki for the right reasons, because it can be deployed
in an hour, has a sane administration interface and they can get it to do what they
want without writing a bot.
But still I believe there are use cases for Mediawiki just as there are use cases for
a plain httpd. Some salesman I am ;)

Re speed/security I don't know enough to judge.
Thanks

If you need flexibility, features and ease of
use/installation, then you've
come to the right place. Keep in mind Wikipedia's functionality largely comes from
some 700 bots which maintain the site. In XWiki this could all be done in script on
the server.
