For public registration, yes, we should offer that as an option to turn on in the global workspaces administration. For anonymous access, it could be an option too, but we first need to think about what we offer publicly (maybe adding another privacy level for workspaces beyond the private/public couple). > - could XE actually do all XWS can do and I should use XE for public > service? In fact, I feel XE has steeper learning curve than XWS. It > seems XE > does not provide individual blog, photo and file spaces Yes, it is our plan to factorize applications between XWS and XE. This will take some time though as we need to expand our application manager plugin and adapt our applications to do so. > - any pointer if I want to limit one user to create only one space? Currently, XWS allows only one user-space (personal space) per user, but it's true that users can create as many workspaces as they want. What you can do now is edit XWSCode.MySpaces and remove the workspace creation form. This will allow you to have only admin able to create workspaces. > - could anyone point me to where I may be able to customize the space > name and url? basically, the use of "Space_" as prefix look quite odd > to me > and i would like to remove it.

See http://code.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Plugins/SpaceManagerPlugin, and in particular the xwiki.spacemanager.prefix param of xwiki.cfg. > > regarding URL, i wonder if the developers like to go to the REST-ful > direction.

This would allow developers to create restful application easily. > > Thank you very much. Thank you very much for your feedback, it's important for us to get such informations, especially at the product early stages. We will take all this into consideration to improve the product and its ease of use, and this will also help us decide the way we want to go with it in its future versions.
