Greetings XWiki Users,
We are a small company of 3 people. For internal use and portal, I've
rolled out Trac... Then Redmine... then back to Trac. I have fond
memories of my Trac install and usage 3-4 years at "the big company" but
now that the 3 of us are on our own it doesn't seem to be that helpful.
Interconnecting Wiki, Issues/Tickets, and SCM Change Sets has great
powers in Trac. But we don't seem to be taking advantage of that now.
A year ago, I rolled out Plone for our external web. I managed to tweak
an attractive Skin/Theme. I added necessary content. Now it sits --
getting old and tired.
I'm starting to evaluate XWiki. So many options on a page is a bit
overwhelming, but other than that it looks very usable. My idea is to
merge our external web and internal portal -- so there isn't such a
distinct line drawn between our knowledge base and our customer facing
pages. I think we can manage (Trac) Issues/Tickets less formally on a
wiki page. The SCM integration was nice, but a simple Source Repository
Viewer might be all we need.
We are all familiar with Java and normally use Linux. The WebDav "fs"
features look nice.
I'm concerned about vitality. Maybe half of the "references" for XWiki
are stale -- site being dead or running something else now.
I'm concerned about security.
I'm concerned about resource footprint. (I imagine it's just App Server
+ a little, but migrating to a VPS would costly.)
Maybe I need some encouragement as I go along. :) And ideas about how
to make pages look less busy.
Thanks,
Scott
