What is XWiki?
Is it a first gen Wiki?
Yes, but not only!
Is it an Advanced Wiki?
Yes, but not only!
It’s a dev platform!
XWiki Platform
... for developing (collaborative) web applications
Multiple Usages
Development Capabilities
Scripting in Pages (1/2)
{{groovy}}
@Grab(group="org.codehaus.groovy.modules.http-builder",
module="http-builder", version="0.5.1")
import groovyx.net.http.*
def http = new HTTPBuilder( "http://nexus.xwiki.org/nexus/" )
def resp = http.get( path: "service/local/repositories")
println "|=Name|=Type|=Location"
resp.data."repositories-item".each() {
println "|${it.name}|${it.repoType}|${it. contentResourceURI}"
}

Adding MetaData
- Ability to associate arbitrary
data to any wiki page
- Enable structure in the wiki
- Enable Application development
- Future: Application Within Minutes
Wiki Macros
Skinning & Theming
