The version we targeted, if I am not wrong, was XWiki 1.8.1
For the rest, I mostly agree with what Sergiu said. I still believe in P2P which is really a paradigm shift from time-sharing and a better way for keeping the control of his data, but business-wise it's not where the world is going right now, hence the lack of real interest in those solutions. - Fabio P.S.: I might check if I can retrieve an pre-compiled installer from my backups but I doubt I will be able to. It would be more interesting to try to rebuild it using XWiki 1.8.1 or, better, update the pom.xml's in order to target the latest XWiki distribution. I am pretty confident that things will work even with more recent versions of XWiki because the functionalities required by Concerto didn't change since then. _______________________________________________ users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users
