AW: [xwiki-users] .xar file for UserGuide available? - xwiki-users@xwiki.org

8 Jun 2007

Well, I don't know... Of course, having dead links in the help isn't nice, but
would this behavior be different in pdf? An xar would give anyone the possibility to
extend the existing content, but I don't know if anyone would do this. Because of its
own space, I wouldn't mind "messing up" my installation - a later removal
would be possible too.

I can work with either options. Choose the one you think more people would use or the one
which is less work.

Thanks,
  Hanspeter

  Thanks for your fast reply!!

 I think a pdf-version would be better for print, while working on my 
 instance I'd prefer an xar. 
I'd like to better understand this.

IMO a XAR is less usable because:
1) it requires you to install it in your wiki and you usually don't want to have a
xwiki user guide in your own wiki as your wiki is not about xwiki (usually :))
2) it's harder because you need to navigate/open other windows because you'll be
working on one page while you'll need to check the user guide at the same time
3) Beware that the user guide has external links to other parts of xwiki.org which will
lead to non-existing page when we export it (like links to the Code Zone for example).

OTOH, having a XAR is nice if you want to provide a user guide on, your own wiki for your
users. Only issue is that it'll be a generic user guide and not a user guide adapted
to your own usage of XWiki.

WDYT?

  The CodeZone-Application for download gave me this
idea.

 Thanks a lot,

 Hi Hanspeter,

 Hello,

 for some Environments (e.g. my Notebook) an local installation of the 
 UserGuide-Space on xwiki.org would be helpful. Is a .xar file 
 available to import the documents in my own xwiki-instance? 
 Yes that's a good idea and easy enough to do. However don't you think 
 a PDF version would be even better? (You won't have to import it in 
 your wiki and mess it up).

 We have added support for exporting several pages of a xwiki site to 
 PDF in XWiki 1.1M1 (but no UI yet) so I guess we could try this on 
 xwiki.org and see how it works.

 WDYT?

 Thanks
