Since XWiki provides a simple package suited for fast experimentation, you could download the zip distribution, unpack it and run it (less than 1 minute until you have the wiki up and running). Of course, we tried to make the web interface as powerful as possible, so there are little things you cannot modify directly from the web. Don't read this message as a hint not to use the myxwiki farm, but just as a helpful tip. Most people expect lots of work when installing a web application, but XWiki has this nice distribution where you just unpack and run. http://maven.xwiki.org/releases/com/xpn/xwiki/products/xwiki-enterprise-hsqldb/1.4/xwiki-enterprise-hsqldb-1.4.zip -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu/ _______________________________________________ users mailing list users@xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users
