Hi

After using my Groovy based XWiki Blog I decided that I am not going to pursue 
this any further because of these issues:

- Groovy applications still have more limitations than Velocity making it very 
difficult to use as an alternative
- It is very difficult to deploy my own Groovy blog application because I have 
to go over several hoops to install it (content, plugins, plugin configurations)
- Most of the issues where related to Groovy based Panels which seems not to be 
possible
- No interest in it

Even though I think that Groovy would be a much better way to script 
applications like the Blog XWiki seems not to be ready to embrace it. From my 
point of view the entrenched usage of Velocity makes it very difficult to go 
beyond a simple page script in another scripting language.
