Hello,
I'm thinking about introducing XWiki as as general intranet system in
the the company I work for. Currently we have a dozens different tables,
list etc. mostly in Excel, wich are used (or better abused) as shared
task list, inventory list and a lot more. In other words: Quite a mess!
From the docs, it appears the XWiki platform provides
some functionality
for creating such micro application directly in XWiki. Has
anybody
actually made any experiences (good or bad) in implementing them in a
small (50 users) enterprise environment?
Thanks,
Stefan

Sure we do that all the time.
For a brief introduction you can check for example this article:

Or these tutorials:

Stefan,
is a web-platform what you meant when asking a "micro-application". I
have a feeling that you might expect something more such as desktop
platforms.
If a web-platform is what you meant then Vincent is definitely right.
I am currently implementing a similar work (on i2geo.net) and it
works well.

I've kept my hands of using XWiki for applications mainly because I want
to reduce applications maintenance problems caused by changes between
XWiki versions (if there's any) to a minimum .
So, my question are : are there any artifact (class, macro, etc.) that
should be avoided to maximize application compatibility between XWiki
versions ??
Any other considerations to be aware of ??
Thanks ins advance.

Hi Ricardo,
Hi Vincent,

If you develop applications inside the wiki - using scripting and the
xwiki API, as described by those tutorials - you won't experiment API
breakages when upgrading XWiki's version ; and so no reason your apps
stops working. Also, if you start writing Java plugins that uses non-API
internal XWiki classes, then compatibility between versions cannon be
guaranteed (also those breakages has been for now pretty rare, as far as
I've been using XWiki).
Is this correct ?
Jerome.

Hi Stefan,
You spotted what XWiki is about. It is particularly for doing this.
For example in our intranet we now have:
- employee contract builder
- human resource information for employees
- expense report application
- sales crm including account, project, contact and task manager
- invoice management application
We plan to have a few more in the future including holidays management,
customer help desk and support site and if we can find the time a
proposal builder.
