[xwiki-users] [myxwiki] new wiki request
Hello! I'm going to perform courses how non-IT people can create their own web pages. As one of (if not the) tool I'd like to teach them XWiki. Therefore it would be great if you would provide us new XWiki instance on myxwiki.org for training purposes. Name could be: odo.myxwiki.org Thanks in advance! Valdis
As a test, I asked to do request for XWiki instance to my wife. She refused to do it, as she found it too confusing. 1. Square brackets in "[myxwiki] new wiki request" were confusing even to me (I searched, how looked other requests to be sure). Are square brackets necessary? If yes, some explanation (exact/verbatim copy) after that should be added, and more distinct text style should be used. 2. Link "XWiki user mailing list" in info block points to the same page as link above to several mailing lists. Potential user need to make (uninformed/arbitrary) choice either to send it to "users" or "devs" list. Probably in info block it should be said exactly that mail should be send to "users" list. 3. Can mail be sent to list without registering to it? Note about this should be added for any case. I have registered on myxwiki.org as valdisvi. If you will add me write permissions to this page, I could improve it myself and then I'll also add translation in Latvian. Thanks! Valdis

Fixed

Fixed by improved the http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/MailingLists page slightly

This is already mentioned in a warning box on http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/MailingLists …

Done: http://odo.myxwiki.org/ Enjoy! -Vincent Massol
Thanks in advance! Valdis
Thanks, Vincent! Another suggestion about myxwiki.org is that it should be multilingual by default. Then newly registered users would see localized interface and resources without any additional settings. For comparison, only other free service which provides interface in Latvian is https://sites.google.com/ so XWiki SAS then would be in par with Google Inc;-) I prepared another edition for http://www.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/WebHome in http://odo.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Test/HowtoRegister in English and Latvian. I hope they are more instructive than current version. Can you copy them to myxwiki.org? Thanks! Valdis
