Unfortunately, while interesting, the bulk of the information in Guillaume's post would be considered Original Research (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:OR), which is not welcome to Wikipedia. Content on WP is ideally from secondary sources. So if this information exists in good independent sources, it can be sited and used, but you can't say things like according to a Google search. The WP page for XWiki appropriately describes it as an Application Wiki. If an independent source can be found that says XWiki coined the term second generation wiki, then it would be appropriate, and probably a good idea to mention it there. If xwiki.org has a page defining the term second generation wiki, it might be nice to add this information there. Or maybe have a history article on xwiki.org. http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/SecondGenerationWiki Thanks -Vincent ___ users mailing list users@xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users

Hope this answered some of your questions though :-) Wishing you all fellow XWikiers a happy new year, Guillaume It does! Thanks for your no so long answer. I am sure a much more longer reflection is required to describe the whole landscape. It is clearly an ongoing discussion, so let's see how things evolve! Guillaume, don't you think that your message could entirely go to the XWiki entry in Wikipedia?

In our small group we are convinced that discussion about the used technology is not separable from the dairy work. The only problem is how to maintain production while trying to keep the thread of such interesting discussions! :-) We are doing our best.

[xwiki-users] second generation wiki
Hi all, I've been harvesting information about XWiki, its origins, development and goals. It is clear that is by no means easy to draw a simple picture of the whole XWiki ecosystem but as far as I see, there there is a key concept extremely powerful when trying to explain what XWiki can do: XWiki is a second generation wiki. Please, is this second generation wiki concept original from the XWiki Development Team, or XWiki Company, or has it any other known origin and development? Thanks! -- Ricardo RodrÃguez Your XEN ICT Team ___ users mailing list users@xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users
