Yesterday was Raffaello's last day at our Paris office (our beloved > sysadmin is leaving to Denmark in a couple weeks). We celebrated > with Champagne - enjoy his masterful bottle opening skills ;-)
Aaron Digulla wrote a great post about XWiki after seeing Vincent's (@vmassol) XWiki presentation at Jazoon. He really understood the geist of it and the possibilities XWiki opens up for developers and organizations.
Here's an excerpt from his post:
"With XWiki, you can finally annotate data in your corporate database with a wiki page, with all the power of a wiki and you can even display the data set in the wiki and edit it there. Granted, the data set won’t be versioned unless your corporate database allows that but it’s simple to do the versioning in the data access layer (for example, you can save all modifications in a log database).
Suddenly, possibilities open up."
You can find the full post on his blog.
XWiki is in the place :-) Waking up at 5 in the morning to catch EZY4261 was hard, but here I am! Come and ask me all your XWiki-related questions on the Cap Digital booth.
LinuxTag is starting from tomorrow onwards in Berlin and I'll be there to talk about XWiki in the midst of a strong French delegation. A number of French Open-Source companies will have a presence there, including XWiki SAS, eXoplatform, Talend or Mandriva. Come and meet me if you're interested in wiki software & collaboration.
Here's how to get to the expo! You'll have no excuse not to come ;-)
I'm currently working on XWiki's answer to the French government call for Web 2.0 projects. We started a fresh XWiki Enterprise 1.9 instance to work together on our answer and I love using it:
- Full-screen edition allows me to focus on what I'm writing
- The Alt+Caps+S shortcut lets me save my modifications without reloading the page
- I can create links easily thus keeping the whole thing organized
- It's WYSIWYG so I don't need to worry about the syntax
Basically, it combines all the advantages of traditional desktop-based text editors with those of a wiki :-)
