Thanks for the lead Sergiu, I'll probably have a local installation too, as i did with the Drupal CMS i'm discovering (with a Bitnami stack) ; very useful for me to try things out before going online, and also to test import/export of datas and other stuff. But the goal is also to have other friends of mine go and play inside XWiki workspaces, i.e. use the wiki for what it's for... and i have to say that beeing some kind of a "pronetarian", according to the french prospectivist Joël De Rosnay's neologism (http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pron%C3%A9taire), it's quite a challenge for me to have a publicly accessible server, running the proper environnement... so relying on your hosting services is a must, without saying that i feel better joining the community here and there, and see the big picture evolvments. So thank you tooVincent, for the opening of explorateursduweb.myxwiki.org :-) -- Sébastien Sauteur _______________________________________________ users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users
