Yep that's interesting. BTW some information about XWiki SAS and the XWiki open source project: * http://www.xwiki.com/xwiki/bin/view/Company/Manifesto and http://www.xwiki.com/xwiki/bin/view/Company/WhoWeAre?language=en * 2008: http://massol.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Blog/XWikiSASAndOpenSource * http://markmail.org/message/3mpyhk6u5addevag > I chose the method of semi-structured qualitative interviews instead > of a standardized survey or the analysis of available data because it > is responsive, adaptable and allows for immediate feedback - and I'm a > bit hesitant of spamming the developer mailing list with a series of > questions and follow-ups.

Well I'm fine with both too but I really think you'll get more extensive result from asking on this thread: * you'll get the sum of our knowledge. There isn't a single person who knows it all here. We all have some knowledge of some part of XWiki and we don't always agree! (which is very fine) * this interaction will be archived and searchable in the future so people won't just see the result but the whole interaction and the various answers from different people So I'm all for doing it here :) I'd suggest you structure your questions by sending a few questions, let it simmer for several days, discuss it. Then once it settles ask a few more questions, etc. I don't know how many questions you have but if you ask too many at once there's the risk that you won't get answers to all. Anyway feel free to do it the way you want! :) Thanks -Vincent _______________________________________________ devs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs
