Lua vs. XWiki Collaboration Suite

I wouldn't recommend Lua because they were recently acquired by another company and will be shutting down. It was unfortunate that we were only given 2 months notice right after signing up for another 1-year term.

XWiki is very well suited for a very wide range of web collaboration and web development.

• It is easy to communicate in real-time.
• Easy to set up different groups.

Incentivized

• XWiki makes it easy to manage semi-structured information, which is at the heart of every knowledge nexus of organizations. It makes it easy to manage in a single system both structured data (such as memberships, projects), and unstructured data.
• XWiki offers a very rich API for creating enterprise applications quickly that are easy to maintain and evolve collaboratively.
• XWiki templating and skinning system is extremely flexible and powerful.

• The application for iPad is not optimized.

• While the basic pieces are available for turning XWiki into an advanced semantic system, some features could be made available more prominently to the user for easing the use of faceted and typed links, paving the way for a new era of collaborative knowledge sharing.

They are closing operations, so there's no support to rate

We chose Lua because of their price point and feature set compared to other tools.

XWiki key differentiators in my opinion:

• Fast app development framework with very rich API
• Open-source strategy, opening the way to collaborative innovation

• It has been great for communication and broadcasts, its a shame that they are closing down.

Incentivized

• XWiki has a positive impact on the OW2 communication and collaborations strategies. It saves time when developing applications.
