Shopping on line can be easy, simple and save you lots of money. It can also take a lot of your time, frustrate you, and result in unwanted purchases. Now the same can be said for regular high street shopping, but with the vast opportunity presented by the Internet it will pay you to spend a few minutes reading this and understanding how to better optimize your Xwiki shopping experience:
1. Compare - without doubt the biggest advantage that the Xwiki offers shoppers today is the ability to compare thousands of Xwiki at a time. This is a great thing, but not necessarily all the time! Too much can be daunting at times so take advantage of the great comparison sites and where possible let them do the hard work for you.
2. Research - if it has been said it will be on the internet. Ignorance is no longer a justifiable reason for buying the wrong thing. Take the time to research in detail everything that you could possible want to know about
3. Testimonials - don't know anybody that has bought a Xwiki? Wrong! If the Xwiki is good the internet will let you know. Use the Internet as a friend and get testimonials before you buy.
4. Questions - Got a question about Xwiki then search the Forums, FAQ's, Blogs etc. Don't be afraid to ask .....
5. Reputation - Never heard of the company selling Xwiki? Don't worry, no reason why you should know every company in the world, but you know someone that does! Use the internet to find out what people are saying about Xwiki and build up a picture of their reputation for sales, returns, customer service, delivery etc.
6. Returns - still worried that even after all of the above your Xwiki wont be what you want? Check out the returns policy. There is so much competition now that someone, somewhere is bound to offer the terms that you are comfortable with.
7. Feedback - happy with your Xwiki then let people know, after all you are depending on others people input in your buying decision, so why not give a little back.
8. Security - check for the yellow padlock on the Xwiki site before you buy, and the s after http:/ /i.e. https:// = a secure site
9. Contact - got a question about Xwiki, or want to leave a comment then check out the sites contact page. Reputable companies have them and respond.
10. Payment - ready to pay for your Xwiki, then use your credit card or PayPal! Be aware of companies that don't accept them, there may be genuine reasons but given the huge amount of choice you have when buying online there is no reason at all not to buy via credit card or PayPal.

XWiki is a [Wiki software package licensed under the
GNU Lesser General Public License. It is an
Enterprise wiki, with many features needed for professional usage. It is also an Application wiki which allows the creation of applications (including structured data and scripting) within the Wiki interface. The languages that can be used are
Jakarta Velocity and Groovy (programming language).
It is written in
Java (programming language) and uses an underlying relational database management system (MySQL or HSQLDB amongst others).
The Wiki syntax is rendered using the Radeox rendering engine.
History
XWiki was originally written by Ludovic Dubost and was first released in January 2003. The first version of the Wiki Farm XWiki.com (http://www.xwiki.com) was released in April 2003. It was first released under the
GNU General Public License. It was announced in February 2006 that the license will be changed to the GNU Lesser General Public License. By the end of 2006 the release of the first Beta version along with the arrival of Vincent Massol at the head of XWiki development team were announced. Since then, work on the XWiki 1.0 version has been conducted and the version should be released by May 2007.
Features
XWiki is an advanced wiki software which includes a number of professional features
- User rights management (by wiki / space / page, using groups, etc...)
- PDF export
- Full-text search
- Version control
- Plugins, API, Programming...
- More features on the official website here
On top of this, XWiki is also an
application wiki that allows the creation of
Object (computer science) and Class (computer science) within the wiki. This way, Form (web) can be developed in a very short time span and be reused to enter data on the wiki following a specific
Page layout#Grids versus templates. This means that end users can be presented with a page on which the layout is already drawn, where they can directly fill in the fields needed.
Open-Source projects
XWiki relies heavily on other Open-Source projects to work. They include:
- Hibernate (Java) -> relational database storage
- Lucene -> to index all the content of a wiki and its attachments and allow the search within their content.
- Jakarta Velocity -> a powerful templating language
- Groovy (programming language) -> for advanced scripting requirements
- Radeox -> the wiki rendering engine, it converts the wiki syntax to plain text
