Re: [phoenix-dev] XWiki

One of our requirements is that the Wiki software must behave in a load-balanced environment. How do these apps maintain state if, say, your "edit this page" request is is sent to one server but your "publish this page" request is sent to another server?

More specifically, problems occur when session state is maintained in server RAM. I'm not a Tomcat expert, therefore configuring shared sessions accross servers doesn't appear to be a trivial task, and anything I do to Tomcat (deploy web apps, compile from source, whatever) needs to be replicated and maintained across servers in the cluster.

This bug explains a bit about the requirements we have:

I still like Wikimedia over Xwiki but that's just my opinion.


ok! But that'd be worth comparing XWiki and Wikimedia roadmaps to see
where we might be one year ahead from now!

In the frame of Phoenix possible usage, this link about wiki engines
comparison might be relevant (both MediaWiki and XWiki are present):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_wiki_software

BTW, there's also an Eclipse plug-in for Wikimedia: http://www.plog4u.org/index.php/Main_Page

and one for Confluence: http://blogs.atlassian.com/rebelutionary/archives/000410.html

and one that supports a few other wikis: http://eclipsewiki.sourceforge.net/

though none of these are WYSIWYG, if that's important for you. After using MS Word and various other tools (editme.com, htmlarea, etc.) for WYSIWYG html editing, I'm sticking with plain text for now. However, this looks nice, at least on paper:

http://vex.sourceforge.net/


Vex looks very promising indeed, thanks for the link!

There's no rich editor for XWiki yet, but there's this online DHTML
editor available: http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Dev/DHTMLWysiwyg
