Hi Vincent, Thanks and apologies -- I hadn't ignored your email response, I was just swamped with work (release time). I was only vaguely aware of XOffice but didn't have time to explore it, but it looks like it may have been what we needed (at least partially). What the users didn't like

We chose XWiki back in 2009 as our wiki solution and we had successfully set up a complete farm of 4 wikis. I have been following the progress of XWiki since then, but unfortunately it was never utilized by our team, mostly because the users did not want to invest the time in learning a new

I don't particularly like the recent alternative suggestions, the w is either getting unwieldy or too wide, losing its original impact, and I'd drop my +1 for it in those cases. To add my hack, what if: a) the X was made bigger and put behind the Wiki part b) the w was a full W (straighter, not

I'm not familiar using .war files so I had expanded it into webapps/ROOT. I'm guessing you either have to expand the .war before making the changes, or somehow make the changes within the .war. I should point out that when I said move the .jar to $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/lib

Rune, Thanks for the idea, yes that would work too! With that thought, I have found passwd.vm and it looks like I can just put the validation in there. I take it .vm files are Velocity macros, with a little javascript thrown in? Not that I know either, but it doesn't look too difficult.
