[Building Sakai] rwiki update from apereo

[Neal Caidin]

Hi Sanghyun,

It was an informal discussion session, a minimal amount of presentation. 
What came out of it is that a number of participants feel strongly that 
Sakai needs to have a wiki option. We are arranging our first meeting 
within a few weeks. The top wiki candidate coming out of the initial 
discussion for an rWiki replacement is xWiki [1]. However, there are 
still many questions and xWiki is not the final answer.

Some (but maybe not all) of the questions include:

* Is xWiki the best option for our needs? Or is there some other 
solution that will work better?
* Could we leverage any existing Sakai tools (i.e. Lessons) for some of 
the needs?
* If we went with xWiki, would we go with the LTI flavor or for a full 
integration? What are the pros and cons and work involved?
* Do we have resources (time, people, money) to get a new Wiki 
integrated with Sakai?
* Licensing? Is the wiki licensing compatible with Sakai licensing? If 
not, what are the options? Licensing is very important.

Sakai PMC approval is a given dependency as well. We have two Sakai PMC 
members involved in the initial discussions, but will need to keep the 
whole PMC informed as we move forward.

My thinking was to send a summary out to the community after we have our 
first meeting or two. If anyone would like to participate in the 
process, please let me know.

Thanks,
