Tour d'horizon du logiciel FOSS XWiki et de ses fonctionnalités pour structurer l'information.

XWiki est un logiciel Open Source qui a pour but de faciliter la gestion de l'information. Le logiciel se base sur le principe du «Wiki» (un site web avec des pages connectées entre elles par des liens) pour organiser ses contenus et fourni également des outils plus avancés pour structurer les données contenues dans le wiki. Aujourd'hui, le logiciel XWiki compte plus de 6000 installations actives, représentant plusieurs milliers d'utilisateurs. Dans cette présentation, nous parlerons des usages possibles d'XWiki pour des groupes de toutes tailles (groupe de travail, association, entreprise). Nous verrons comment XWiki peut être utilisé pour faciliter l'accès à l'information, et comment l'intégrer avec d'autres outils. Pour cela, nous utiliserons une instance de démonstration et quelques instances publiques d'XWiki. La dernière partie de cette intervention présentera la communauté XWiki, son fonctionnement et les options possibles pour contribuer au logiciel.

When working in teams on a project, we often observe that people don't tend not to use very collaborative solutions for their work. Documents get scattered across multiple folders or in emails, it gets harder to distinguish an old version of a document from a new one and we miss the possibility to link documents between each others. XWiki aims to provide a solution to this problem. Based on the concept of "wiki" : a website on which people can create pages and make links between them ; XWiki offers an actual platform that, in addition to providing every features needed for a good wiki (page history, links, hierarchy, …), allows the real creation of collaborative spaces. This conference aims to show how XWiki can help any individual or team to build a knowledge base adapted to his needs. We will run through some of the most popular features proposed by XWiki to adapt the platform to company use cases. The conference will be held as follows : * Presentation of the XWiki Open Source project and the concepts behind it ; * Demonstration of the creation of a knowledge base for a team with a specific use case ; * Questions and answers, either on the demonstration or more broadly on the Open Source project itself.

Beyond the usual security guidelines that we can find in most organizations (limiting administrative rights on computers, setting up firewalls, ...), the good management of passwords shared between employees, clients or providers is key. In this talk, we will go through how we managed at XWiki SAS to deploy a unique secret management strategy based on the Passbolt (https://passbolt.com) platform for our 500+ passwords, ensuring : * The secure sharing of secrets, with traceability * The automated, periodic renewal of those secrets

In this presentation, we will see how XWiki manages to streamline the collaborative editing of large documents by an important number of users (200+), while providing tools to : * Strictly ensure the quality of the final document by allowing each document section to be individually reviewed * Review the overall progress of the document creation * Know who edited which document section, when and why * Allow to historize the document sections and the complete document We will demonstrate the capabilities of XWiki in this domain with some examples of the deployment of such solution at XWiki SAS.
