Hi Vincent, It sounds like a good idea. It would provide: * a place to test out the latest XWiki builds and quickly identify issues and resolve them * a free place for people to host their websites
I'd certainly consider it for my non-work related material.

Netcipia is another farm that could be seen as a kind of competitor to this new xwiki.org farm. However there are some differences: * the xwiki.org farm will be using the default UI (same as XWiki Enterprise) and the same features * it'll be supported by the xwiki community * it'll have latest versions installed at all times * there's no business model behind this xwiki.org farm I think the target is really different. Netcipia's idea is to propose ways for users to sell their content online whereas this farm will be more for hosting "intranets"/"web sites". Anyway the free xwiki.org farm is not fully decided yet. I'd like to see more opinions form the xwiki users and dev community about it.
