HI,

I am new to Xwiki and i am trying free wiki SAS Wiki Cloud offer,

But i would like to get more info on possibility of creating a wiki on the Farm, as i am a member of an NGO committee and looking for free wiki solution for our guidelines and knowledge sharing, Mainly what is the difference between that and Wiki Cloud Offer, And if it would be a suitable solution as a wiki for the NGO i am part of

The main differences are the ones indicated on http://myxwiki.org, namely: " This community farm is subject to the following rules: • No support warranty. All support is done on the XWiki user mailing list by the community. • No stability warranty. We install the latest milestone version of XWiki Enterprise Manager on this farm and we use it as a stability test for the XWiki development team. • No uptime warranty. It’s possible the farm will be down a few days in a row although we’ll do the maximum so that it doesn’t happen. " Whereas the XWiki SAS XCloud offer (not related to this xwiki open source project btw) is a professional offer with professional support, uptime, upgrades, backups, etc. Hope it helps, -Vincent

Thanks,

Hi Vincent,

Thanks for so prompt reply, Sorry i should have been more precise, I did no quite understand the technical terms in the rules

Xcloud offers Free private space up tp 100Mb for infinite time to 5 users

Is it possible to have a private space among Myxwiki

Yes

how many users and how much space ?

It's a community thing so whatever is reasonable and if you break all other wikis on the farm because you take too much space you'll be blamed for it and the community will need to close some wikis… Similarly if your subwiki on myxwiki.org has a lot of users and they take up all the Servlet container threads and thus slows down the whole farm, then the other wikis will all become slow and someone will need to do something about it :)

does discontinuous uptime mean it will be not possible to log in the wiki space if created for some days ?

It means the wiki might be unavailable for hours or days till we fix issues. Again this is a real life test bed for the development team… Also as I have already mentioned we try to use the latest (and thus more unstable) versions on myxwiki.org to test them. Remember that myxwiki.org is for users who understands relatively well how XWiki works and who can support themselves technically (do the wiki upgrades themselves for example), and if you take too much resources there, your wiki might be closed. Thanks -Vincent

Best Regards, Thanks
