And, of course, I found a lot of nice work done in XWiki! prior to go ahead, I would like to be sure I'm following the correct XWiki pages dealing with this issue. Here a summary... http://portal.idisantiago.es/xwiki/bin/view/XWikiDevelopment/URL/ Please, am I missing anything? I know that XWiki pages are a collaborative effort and that any of us can contribute to improve them. I'm just trying to establish a solid starting point before going ahead! Thanks for any insight!
