I meant that Google Docs, pmwiki and other WikiFarms have probably
taken a big market share. JSPWiki seems to be mainly used in
companies, and few companies share the plugins/templates they create...

What do you mean by this? Within what JSPWiki should be integrated
to be "interesting" for users?
In my case, it is "page indexation" (what one may call a "semantic
wiki") and I will work on that on the basis of 3.0 (a permanent id
being then assigned to pages, indexation will be easier to track).
But I suppose it is not the mainstream concern?
Thanks for your enlightments!

Subject: Re: JSPWiki Future and Roadmap post v2.8.2
Heya!
I don't think moving to Apache Incubation had anything to do with it,
really - I believe it's just the fact that all of the developers are
busy elsewhere with new jobs or children. Or both, in my case.
You're right that we haven't kept the web sites up to date. When
you're under time constraints, SVN and code takes precedence :-). If
there's a volunteer who would like to help in maintaining the web
site
and the wiki, it would be a great help. No coding expertise
required;
just someone who wants to write about JSPWiki. But yeah, we should
really stick something on the websites.
As to why there haven't been that many plugins or templates... I
don't
know. Perhaps there just aren't that many users anymore for
standalone wikis :-/.
I wouldn't use the JIRA as a guideline for project activity; if you
take a look at Firefox Bugzilla, they'll have major things open from
2004 or so in it...

Hi Guys
I'm an avid fan of JSPWiki, but I'm concerned about it's future with
it
being part of the Apache incubator project
The reasons are:
- Edits on jspwiki seem to be slowing down
- No-one has been contributing Templates. When I started using
JSPWiki at
ver 2.0.x there where a whole bunch and then it slowed down. By ver
2.6
no-one was contributing any more
- The same applies to the plugins
- The http://incubator.apache.org/jspwiki/ site seems very lean and
nothing
much seems to be going on
- The JIRA site seems to have items logged in 2008 with no
resolution
Having said all of this; the number & frequency of subversion
commits seems
to be fairly ok which might indicate that their is perhaps nothing
to fear?
:)
I know the more people helping on a project the better.
Unfortunately I can
only be an avid user and fan and not contribute due my hectic work
and 60+
hours weeks.
If we the fans have nothing to fear, may I be so bold as to ask the
team to
stick something on the main page of jspwiki.org as well as the
incubator
page explaining that there is nothing to fear and that the project
is alive
and kicking. Also (I'm not sure if this is somewhere), do you have
any idea
of the release roadmap concerning rough dates... i.e. from 2.8.3 to
3.0 to
3.1?
Thanks Guys
A major fan
Greg
