1: more active forum/mailing list?
Posted by Matthew Smith on 04/30/08 09:53 PM
I'm getting a bit frustrated by the lack of documentation and examples for XOWiki. The docs cover a lot of stuff on a high/broad level, but have no how-to's or actual implementation. I've googled for more examples and tutorials, but have found nothing.

Is there a more active list of other resource where I can get help with beginner questions?

Thank you.

There is a small number of developer's who are experts on extending xowiki.

Check this out
http://ges.galileo.edu/xowiki/conf_20080213
Scroll down to Tutorials: Xotcl-Core and Xowiki Internals. There are some presentations and videos that are a good introduction.

The experts on xowiki are in Europe so there is a time difference, it looks like you are posting during the work day in the US.

Thank you. I did not know about the time difference. I have received several responses to prior questions that I have posted here, and I am appreciative for the help, it's just that the delay makes progress slow.

Thank you for the link.

Hi Matthew,

I found some tutorials on what I believe to be main Xowiki development server. I'm not sure where they are from or what they are for exactly but they helped me, my name also appears in one of them which is nice! They give a good intro to developing with XoTcl and XoWiki.

XoWiki

XoTcl-Core

Appologies if these are the same as the ones on the other link.

Cheers
Matthew

Sorry, they are the same thing. Anyway these are definitely the place to start.
