One problem is that we don't have full control over the release of FoXWiki because it is hosted at addons.mozilla.org (as i remember, a release requires few reviews and so on), and if we are to host it by ourselves, we need to deploy the xpi file at a ssh secured url (otherwise firefox rejects the addon as i recall). See: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2358 a lot of users are complaining about version incompatibility :( I did not have much time to work on this and I don't think I will have time in comming months either. Sergiu, if you have an account at addons.mozilla.org, i should be able to add you as a FoXWiki author so that you can work on it. > > Thus we have 2 choices: > > - someone volunteers to work on it and make FoxWiki work with FF and IE > relatively quickly since the feature is currently broken > > - we move foxwiki to contrib/ and remove that feature (ie. we could make > it active only if the extension is installed for ex) > > > > WDYT? > > FoXWiki can only work with FF, since it's a Firefox extension.

A WebDAV client is only required if you need to mount XWiki into your file system. I have tested this on IE a long time ago and it used to work. However, recently jerome did some changes to WebDAV UI integration code that allows admins to selectively disable WebDAV features, may be this is the reason why it doesn't work on IE oob, jerome should be able to give more details. Finally, AFAIK there is absolutely 0 documentation on WebDAV XWiki UI integration (I think I did not have time for that). Another problem (not sure about this one) could be that if XE is running behind an apache webserver (mod_jk) there will be issues since apache might not forward webdav requests to tomcat by default. A user reported something like this but I did not have time to look into it. I know it is my responsibility to work / maintain webdav related work but I was busy with some other work. If someone could take it over, i would be glad to help out.
