Hi Jerome,
Thanks for your continued interest. I have managed to work out installing Chronopolys on
Linux - the double mouse click didnt work but the terminal commands did and its looking
90% good for our application so will go with that for now.
You appear to be part of the xwiki organisation so I'll just throw in my 0.03 FWIW
;-)
Having trialed a fair number of wiki related tools recently, I must admit that
Xwiki's approach is a little disorienting to me. Obviously as an organisation you have
good reason for how its various offspring are designed, but in my opinion a less confusing
approach would be if you offered the market something like:
1. Xwiki enterprise - the core wiki application
then users can select from add on wiki modules to customise things further if they
desire.
e.g
2. want project management - then add Chonopolos addin
3. if you want workspaces - then add Workspaces add in
Yes, that's the direction we are taking, and ultimately that's what we
want to offer
I'm sure you get the idea ...
Obviously it would be nice if all these add ins could play nicely together as well
because I can find areas where all 3 of the products could be useful, but if they were
integrated that would be so much neater IMO.
Still, please keep on refining an already excellent product.
Really the only plugin missing from my end is a Gliffy flowcharting equivalent of that
available for Confluence, so maybe you could encourage Gliffy a bit. I have already asked
them and the Mockups developer to think about an Xwiki inline page flowchart tool.
I didn't know Gliffy so far. Also the tool is different, we have a
similar integration with Balsamic mockups
(
http://www.balsamiq.com/products/mockups/xwiki).
If the Gliffy team is willing to develop this integration, we can help
for them for sure (and if an organization is willing to sponsor part of
the development, we can also find resources and take an active part in
writing the plugin).
Thanks for the feedback on XWiki's products :)
Cheers,
Jerome.

If you are familiar with Chronopolys - what
install route would you recommend - Enterprise or Workspaces first?
What do you want to do exactly ?
The jar you refer to (installer-generic) is an installer for a
self-contained Chronopolys application, meaning that you just have to
execute it and you will have a setup wizard to install Chrono.
Same as for XWS, Chronopolys is built on top of XWiki Enterprise
(although they both come with their own custom skins, so it's not
obvious and users do not necessarily realize the application is built on
top of a wiki engine).
