Hi all,

If anyone can help me with the following then you'd it would be greatly appreciated:

Backups:

Is it possible to get XWiki to automatically do a backup overnight to a specified directory?

This would be a very useful facility.

The best is to do a database backup using whatever backup tool you want.

Email capture:

Are there any plans for XWiki to store emails sent to it - like Confluence?

I haven't heard anyone working on this. However we do store RSS feeds in XWiki Watch and there's the notion of Data Source so it should be possible to implement a Mail Data Source pretty easily I guess.

Registration:

The email registration/confirmation doesn't seem to work - is there any detailed documentation on how this process would work?

I haven't used it myself so I don't know. I don't think this is documented on xwiki.org but it would be nice to document it there. When you find out how to do it it would be nice if you could help document it.

Have you searched the xwiki mail archives? The next step if nobody knows will be to check the sources :)

Thanks
