We had this problem with 2.0.x, but we just upgraded to 2.1 and its happening there as well. A slight correction... the More Actions and Export menu's are working for a Regular user. But the Edit menu does not show a drop down... just the main Edit link. Maybe that's normal?

[xwiki-users] Limitng registered users list to Ldap (Active Directory) groups mapped to XWiki groups
Hi. I am evaluating XWiki's LDAP-based authentication capabilities. The intention is to have a locked-locked-light wiki instance for my group in a large AD-based corporate environment. The LDAP documentation in xwiki.cfg clarifies how to map LDAP groups to XWiki groups. However, for ease of ACL administration, I would like to treat only users belonging to xwiki.authentication.ldap.group_mapping as registered users and the rest of the users within the corporation as Guests. Is there any way of achieving this mapping? Presently, I have setup LDAP config to authenticate any user within the corporation using xwiki.authentication.ldap.user_group=cn=workers,ou=etc.etc. This causes every user to be treated as a registered user (after successful authentication of course). The only work around I can see is to have an AD group (say X) that contains all the mapped groups specified in xwiki.authentication.ldap.group_mapping, but that requires X to be updated in sync with changes made to xwiki.authentication.ldap.group_mapping. If I can avoid the need for setting and maintaining X, that would be nice. Thanks, Milind ___ users mailing list users@xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users

Developers need to be paid when they work full time on some project. We need a commercial ecosystem around XWiki for it to progress as quickly as its competitors (the collaboration market). We need to allow for commercial companies the ability to generate revenue from their work on the XWiki open source project. However we also want to continue ensuring that all the XWiki development is done in open source, under a LGPL license. Governance Proposal = 1) xwiki.org is controlled by the XWiki committers. This means that important changes brought to it should be discussed/vote on the list, using the same practices as for code commits 2) xwiki.org stays open in edit mode to all external contributors (and XWiki committers continue to monitor it to remove spam, etc) 3) we agree to start with 3 zones where companies can advertise their commercial offers on top of the XWiki open source product: -- On the download page (for business packages, subscriptions, hosting) -- On the support page (for services: support, consulting) -- (still to be defined) Possibly on a Products tab in the new horizontal navigation. The idea would be to do as jboss.org is doing. Projects are open source and community and Products are commercial 4) the company offerings are listed by their amount of contributions to the XWiki open source project. The company that contributes most (XWiki SAS today) gets the best spots (top of the list, bigger space) 5) Companies who want to be listed should provide some proof of their contributions to the XWiki open source project 6) XWiki SAS gets some acknowledgment for paying for the xwiki.org server/maintenance of it. Probably somewhere in the footer of the site or on side panel somewhere It's maybe already part of 4), depends how we value this contribution. 7) xwiki.org should always remain a site for the xwiki open source community Conclusion = We want to stress that this proposal is not about XWiki SAS making a commercial takeover of the xwiki.org site. It's about recognizing that if the XWiki open source software progresses quickly today, it's thanks to contributors but also for a very large proportion to companies paying developers to work on it, either directly (like XWiki SAS or other companies that have developers contributing) or indirectly (by paying for example XWiki SAS or other companies to work on specific features). It's also about recognizing that XWiki SAS is happy to see other companies willing to contribute to the progress of the

Thanks for you prompt reply Thomas. I really appreciate that. The issue XWIKI-2518 that you pointed out was exactly the solution I was thinking of. Meanwhile, I think that setting up the super group X should satisfy our needs. Just curiously, why is it difficult to define xwiki group consisting of subgroups and individuals?

Just curiously, why is it difficult to define xwiki group consisting of subgroups and individuals? I thought that is already the way it works. It's not technically very difficult, I just mean it make the configuration more complex. You have to mix LDAP users and groups in the same list in the configuration which is not very good for performance since you have to do a LDAP query for each element to know if its a user or a group or you need to introduce another parameter in LDAP configuration (which already contains a lot) just for the list of users. It's nicer to handle it directly in LDAP because it's already supported in there and it mean you only have to go to LDAP to set authorizations for all applications, no need to change XWiki configuration (plus modify xwiki.cfg file mean restart XWiki).

Re: [xwiki-users] [xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Governance for xwiki.org
Hi Pascal, On Tue, Dec 15, 2009 at 9:22 PM, Pascal Voitot pascal.voitot@gmail.comwrote: Hello, I don't know if pascal is me or someone else but I'm also one Pascal so I answer ;) Yes, I meant you :-) Sorry for the long mail... Thanks for the detailed feedback! I agree with this kind of governance as long as XWiki.org keeps fully free and brings the best and latest code with LGPL license. I agree that companies contributing to XWiki could be rewarded by having some visibility on xwiki.org site. I agree with the fact that XWiki SAS needs to earn more money based on XWiki.org because if it earns more money, XWiki will go further etc... The limit between commercial product and free software is not easy to define and to manage... Being an opensource company is really hard, isn't it? The only thing I want XWiki SAS is to keep going as a real opensource company for which the community project is the base of everything and which contains the best of breed of XWiki SAS knowledge. I would be disappointed to see you becoming a company such as the ones I can see for which opensource is just a facade or a marketting argument without any real community development and support. Jboss is not exactly one of those but they give me the impression of going progressively in this direction and after one year working intensively with their professional projects and support, I'm really disappointed because I see that their opensource and community support seems declining or even seems willingly bad sometimes and focused on only some visible projects. I really wonder if opensoure is not getting corrupted by such companies after all... With XWiki, I've been able to develop some little professional projects with the best code coming from XWiki without thinking that, if my project could make or not money, I would have to pay, in any case, the X thousands $ just for the license. My idea was to contribute to XWiki through these projects and if I could earn some money I would contribute to XWiki with something more than my little braincells :)... Sorry about that but the projects I have achieved with XWiki have never gone further than pilots and I have never been able to make a living with that :)... What a shame, isn't it?;) All of that just to explain that the fully open status of XWiki allowed me to bring my ideas into reality and I think your professional but free status is a great attractor for lots of people. So as long as you keep that in mind and in facts, I will keep supporting you and maybe more... I understand your concern. I've been reading quite a number of online discussions about JBoss and the questions people have about its business model and the fact that they're afraid that at one point it will no longer be Open-Source. I think I can speak on behalf of XWiki SAS when I say that we believe in Open-Source and want to stay a real Open-Source company - however complex it might be at times. My personal take is that, as long that we as a company promise that all the XWiki code written by XWiki SAS will be released under the LGPL license, the project can thrive with people confident that they're contributing to real Open-Source. Ludovic has personnally committed himself to this in the past as XWiki SAS' founder and this is a policy that will continue in the future. We've been talking about this internally and the overwhelming majority of XWiki SAS employees wants the XWiki code we write to be made available under the LGPL license. I hope this answers your concerns :-) Apart from this, are there other questions and/or things that may sound worrying to you? Thanks again for the feedback - and I hope that some of your XWiki-based commercial initiatives will eventually become fruitful :-) Guillaume Pascal On Tue, Dec 15, 2009 at 5:41 PM, Guillaume Lerouge guilla...@xwiki.com wrote: Hi, On Fri, Dec 4, 2009 at 3:44 PM, Vincent Massol vinc...@massol.net wrote: Hi everyone (devs and users), While we have a clear governance for write access to our source repository (http://dev.xwiki.org), we're missing a clear governance for xwiki.org.
