+1

This looks very good.

I'd suggest once we have done this to revive a discussion about the Home Page based on Caty's work:

http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Improvements/XWikiOrgProposal2

The current xwiki.org page really needs a revamp. We don't necessarly need to do everything that is in Caty's proposal. But we need for sure to revamp the entry point and give the "General Links" a more proeminent space and clean the "Getting Started" section which is highly outdated.

Hi,

I've implemented the proposed version

enterprise
http://enterprise.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/Download

manager
http://manager.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/Download

watch
http://watch.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/Download

xeclipse
http://xeclipse.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/Download

xoffice
http://xoffice.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/Download

Please vote on this versions.

This variant deprecates xwiki:Main.Download and will need also a change in
Panels.Download that will relate to the local Main.Download instead of the
global xwiki: link.

The feedback form is activated so we will receive the messages, but there is
only one general form and the messages are redirected just to one email
address. Some developer needs to fix this in order for the companies
checkbox to work.

Thanks,
Caty

Hi Caty,

That's good to me. I believe it's a good first version that we can tune
later on.

I'm +1 to implement it like this for now.

Thanks

Hi everyone,

Thanks for your feedback on my previous mail on this topic. I've
discussed
it more with Gregory and Emilie and here's what we'd like to propose
now:
* Add a Profesional Services heading on the download which would contain
** Some text explaining about community support and linking to
http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/Support (which already
describes
community support)
** A livetable containing companies offering professional services for
XWiki. The columns would be:
*** Logo
*** Company name
*** Number of active committers
*** Link to the correct anchor on the Support page (
http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/Support)
** The livetable would only show 3 entries
** The livetable would be sorted by active committers by default
** A text that explains how to add a new company to the list and which
would point to the Governance page (
http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/Governance)

* We will remove the current XWiki SAS support link since that
information
will be moved to the livetable

* Rework the download page so that when a download link is clicked, it
opens a new page containing the feedback questionnaire while the
download
happens
** Note that for this to be technically possible I propose to remove the
link to the OW2 mirrors and instead link to the only existing mirror
(OW2
seems to have only 1...). If not, we would need some code to compute
which
OW2 mirror to use based on the location.

* The feedback questionnaire page would contain the following:
** The following questionnaire:

http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Drafts/SatisfactionSurveyProducts(let'stune 
the questions together)
** The questionnaire would start with a first question asking to which
companies it should be sent to. We would list all companies offering
professional support (using checkboxes) with a special text for the top
one
("Top contributor") and in parenthesis listing the number of active
committers. For example:

[ ] XWiki SAS - Top contributor with 15 active committers
[ ] Softec - 1 active committer

** A text explaining that it's optional and what the questionnaire will
be
used for, i.e. that
*** it will be published anonymously on xwiki.org to improve the
product
*** it will be sent to the companies for which the user has checked the
box

We've tried to design this proposal with taking 2 ideas into account:
1) that it's fair and that all companies can have a fair visibility
2) that it's visible which companies contribute the most (to reward
their
contributions)

WDYT?

Thanks
-Vincent

Hi devs and everyone,

Emilie has proposed the following content to be added to the Download
page (http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/Download):
http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Drafts/TextDownload

The idea is twofold:
1) to get feedback about what people think about our software.
2) some people who download the XWiki software from xwiki.org don't
know
that XWiki SAS has a commercial offerings and could be interested by it
The pros for the community are:
1) XWiki SAS will publish back the result of the feedback it receives
from the download form which will allow us to fine tune and improve the
software
2) XWiki SAS could get more business (from people who want to buy
support, dev work, hosting, etc) which will mean accrued budget for
paying
developers and resources to work on the XWiki project
Note 1: the form would be of course optional
Note 2: in the future I'd like to see a not for profit foundation to
handle xwiki.org, the xwiki open source project, donations, etc. When
this
happens we could elect from member for the foundation and have the
feedback
form sent to that foundation for example, with members of the foundation
having access to the data (for example).
WDYT?

Thanks
-Vincent Massol, acting as both CTO of XWiki SAS and XWiki open source
developer
