I'm a newbie working with a non-profit to use a
new site that has been
created on myxwiki for our collaboration. The statement in the note
below
is that anyone with space on this hosted farm should upgrade.
The
myxwiki.org farm is tracking the latest versions and we update it
as soon as a release is out. However we can't upgrade the applications
in it on behalf of its users because it would mean overwriting any
change you'd have made to existing pages that are in the default XAR.
Thus we let you do some part of admin work and it's your charge to
upgrade your wiki.
This is
certainly counter intuitive as I would expect to be tracking the
latest
software automatically as we are part of the hosted farm. In fact,
there is
a warning to this effect that myxwiki is not for enterprise
applications for
the reason that it is used for development. So, please advise what
the
definitive answer is here as the upgrade instructions address a
variety of
environments that do not appear to apply to the hosted farm.
Also, as a new site on the hosted farm it seems as though I must
tell users
to register and then I would need to enter the same userId, first
and last
name to give them change rights under "Administration"?
That only depends on your strategy and there are lots of valid
strategies.
Otherwise, I would
need to create accounts for them assigning userIds and passwords and
this
would be a lot of work. Seems like there should be a "Getting Started
Guide" under
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/ that
provides pointers on the next steps after the site is created by
myxwiki
administrators.
See
http://enterprise.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/GettingStarted/
To guillaume: why is this guide not linked yet?
