Thanks for hint Vincent, these options are indeed possible and I considered
them (didn't know that svn integration is already available). But trick is
to not break usability. So that you can just switch between "tagged" content
and "trunk" without a need to overwrite "trunk" by imported XAR, or
update
to revision from svn, or have another server for deploying tags as this will
definitely provoke conflicts.
For simple user that's it: switch mode, navigate in tagged/baselined
content. I guess it may not even require version control system like svn
underneath if we have all history in database anyway.
Is it in general possible to introduce such a feature that will for all
read-only actions (view, export) provide only "tagged" content? If possible
how much efforts may it need?
Did someone else experience a need in such a feature for a groupware (which
wiki belongs to as for me)?

Hi xwiki people,
Is there a possibility to have something like tags or baselines for
complete
wiki or particular space? What I mean is
possibility to use the power of
navigation between pages as usual with condition that all pages revision
in
this mode would belong to this "tag" or
just have modification date not
later than specified.
I have noticed "SVN Integration (make it possible to store and edit wiki
pages in SVN)" in Survey on XWiki Features (
http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/SurveyXWikiFeatures), but this
topic looks obsolete as last modification was done in January 2010.
Background is that my team currently uses xwiki for requirements
management
on a software project and it is vital to have
baselines. Alternatively
export to PDF/RTF could be used, but firstly it refuses to handle some of
pages as is (we've created several classes with customized sheets), and
secondly it would require intensive tailoring of output to get nice
laconic
document (exclude pages that are not relevant,
make headers correct
relevantly to hierarchy, etc.)
I see 2 options:
* Use the existing SVN integration:
http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/SVN+Application
* Export the wiki as a XAR export (it''ll you one XAR file which is a zip
file containing the full wiki which can be imported in a XWiki instance at
any time to have a running tagged documentation) when you need to tag.
Hope it helps,
