Demo and live Q&A: Migrating from Confluence to XWiki

Planning to migrate from Confluence and want to see which alternative is the best out there? We, here at XWiki, believe software needs to adapt to its users and not the opposite. XWiki's features, extensible capabilities, and data structure model allow making this happen without too much struggle. This demo and Q&A session will walk you through the checklists, services, and tools you can use to migrate from Confluence to XWiki. * * * 00:00 Agenda & Intro 04:45 Pre-requisites 06:36 Migrating from Confluence to XWiki Demo 17:37 Future plans and extensions 21:50 Live Q&A * * * Questions: 1. Workflow add-ons for XWiki - are there any equivalents to that of Confluence? 2. What is the easiest way to test the migration? 🤍🤍xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Download/DownloadVersion/?projectVersion=12.10.6 3. Do you have permission management? 🤍🤍xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Documentation/AdminGuide/Access%20Rights/ 4. How about page properties? It does not exist yet, but alternatives with AppWithinMinutes exist. 5. What is the "page properties macro" about? It is a Confluence Macro: 🤍confluence.atlassian.com/doc/page-properties-macro-184550024.html 6. Is there a migration scenario for Apps In Minute from page properties? Yes, it is possible. It has to be explored with the client. 7. I tried to install XWiki on Debian 10 using this guide: 🤍🤍xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Documentation/AdminGuide/Installation/InstallationViaAPT/ but when I restarted the server it didn't come up again, the whole tomcat was frozen, any ideas? You can address it here: 🤍forum.xwiki.org/ 8. There are translation macros/plugins, e.g. Scroll Translations for Confluence - is there a path for migrating multi-language pages? 🤍🤍xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Documentation/UserGuide/Features/I18N 9. Regarding infrastructure: how are the system resource requirements, e.g. for a 5000 user Confluence with 10.000 pages in XWiki? 🤍🤍xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Documentation/AdminGuide/Installation/#HHardwareandSoftwarerequirements 10. What about page includes? already evaluated, not difficult to implement. 11. Does the XML import migrate restrictions and permissions too? How are users mapped and page histories? Yes 12. So the user that created the page can be preserved? Yes * * * Useful links: Confluence migrator: 🤍extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Confluence/XML/ Confluence migration guide: 🤍xwiki.com/en/Blog/Confluence-to-XWiki-migration-export-import/ Confluence next steps: 🤍xwiki.com/en/Blog/plans-for-confluence-importing-tools/ Book a call with Stefana: 🤍calendly.com/xwiki/stefana-am Contact us: contact🤍xwiki.com
