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.

Cheers

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). _______________________________________________ users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users
