Welcome to the XWiki Community farm

Version 34.1 by Eduard Moraru on 2017/04/04 15:42

MyXWiki.org is a free service offered by XWiki SAS for non-profit organizations and individuals. For company needs, XWiki SAS offers XWiki Cloud and professional hosting and support services. Organizations evaluating wikis can also download a standard distribution of XWiki Enterprise for this purpose. 

This community farm is subject to the following rules:

  • No support warranty. All support is done on the XWiki user mailing list by the community.
  • No stability warranty. We install the latest milestone version of XWiki Enterprise Manager on this farm and we use it as a stability test for the XWiki development team.
  • No uptime warranty. It’s possible the farm will be down a few days in a row although we’ll do the maximum so that it doesn’t happen.
  • It's your duty to keep your wiki healthy and to avoid having it use too many resources (CPU and memory). This means avoiding using costly scripts and properly securing your wiki to avoid spam users and spam comments. Your wiki may be closed if it's not abiding by this rule.
  • You don't have Programming Rights on your wiki for security reasons. This means you cannot install Extensions requiring Programming Rights or Extensions installing JARs, nor use privileged APIs inside scripts in wiki pages.

    The farm is open to individuals and non-profit organizations to create wikis on. However the target users are mostly technical people who can support themselves to some extent. This farm should never be used for critical wikis. For that consider using XWiki Cloud by XWiki SAS.

If you're interested in having a wiki hosted on this farm please follow steps:

  1. Register on myxwiki.org (this wiki)
  2. Send a standard email (in English) to the XWiki user mailing list (you'll need to register prior to sending the mail) providing details
    • subject: [myxwiki] new wiki request1
    • description: give a brief description of what you want to use this wiki for
    • owner name: the name you have registered at step 1
    • wiki name: the name that will be used before .myxwiki.org to access the wiki. No special characters allowed, just letters and numbers. Must start with a letter.

One of the XWiki community Admins will then create the wiki for you (allow a few days to process your request).

  1. ^ This is a well-known mail strategy to allow users to filter their emails easily by setting rules (for example"move all emails with [myxwiki] in the subject to a myxwiki mail folder").
    It also makes emails easier to read when you read just the subject line in your mail reader.
