Forum OpenACS Q&A: XoWiki Content Flow

I am trying to get my feet wet with the XoWiki Content Flow. Seems to me like an interesting and innovative approach worth checking out. We'd be happy to spread the word and drive some attention to it by introducing it to ]po[ community.

Unfortunately there's very few documentation and I hit the wall at quite an early stage.

Using
- xowf v0.33d
- xowiki 0.145
- xotcl-core 0.125

I receive the following err when trying to fill out a form:

I am also wondering if this package has been used already by somebody outside the "Vienna XO Cluster".
Any hints in regards to additional resources, maturaty, stability and learning curve would be much appreciated.

Cheers!

see here for a first starter kit.

Hi Claudio,

I've updated the starter kit.
http://alice.wu-wien.ac.at:8000/xowf-intro/prepare

in short: clone the git repository to your OPENACS/packages directory, go to the apm package manager and install as usual...

all the best
