At XWiki, we believe that innovation is a strong way to improve the quality of products and services for our customers. That's why we have gotten involved in research projects. Some of them are described bellow.

Current projects

Compatible One

Compatible One aims to develop a complete "Cloudware" solution under a free license. The different software products from the project partners, among others, will be adapted and integrated. Compatible One has the ambition to enable everyone to create, deploy and administer private, public or low-cost hybrid Clouds providing services of all kinds (IaaS, PaaS and SaaS). Compatible One has a total budget of 10 447 K€. The project brings together numerous participants: XWiki, ActiveEon, CityPassenger, eNovance, Eureva, Lost Oasis SARL, Mandriva, Nexedi SA, Nuxeo, the OW2 CONSORTIUM, Prologue SA, INRIA – Sophia Antipolis, INRIA – Grenoble, Institut Telecom.

STREAMS

The STREAMS project aims at developing peer-to-peer solutions that provide the necessary services to any social real-time web platform, in order to eliminate the drawbacks of centralized architectures. These solutions are designed to replace collaboration based on a central authority with collaboration based on the decentralization of services. The project brings numerous participants together: XWiki, LORIA, INRIA Paris Rocquencourt, University of Rennes 1, INRIA Nancy Grand Est. Streams has a total budget of 1.7M€. The project should start at the beginning of november 2010.

Wiki 3.0

The project Wiki 3.0, brought in partnership with INRIA and Mandriva, was selected by the French Ministry of Economy. There were 44 projects chosen from 340 submitted. The aim of this project is to create a new generation collaborative platform based on new modalities of interaction and joint work. The platform will benefit from the power of social networks, the opportunities for collaborative editing of documents in real time and from the cloud infrastructures. The final goal of the Wiki 3.0 project is to develop an enterprise business solution that can provide significant productivity gains in the processes of exchange and creation of knowledge within professional groups. The project started at the beginning of 2010.

Scribo

XWiki coordinates the SCRIBO project - Semi-automatic and Collaborative Retrieval of Information Based on Ontologies - a project sponsored by the competitiveness cluster System@tic. SCRIBO's aim is the development of algorithms and of free software tools for extracting knowledge from multimedia content (text or image) and also for semi-automatic annotations and collaborative digital documents. SCRIBO has a budget of 4.3M€ and brings together the AFP, the CEA LIST, the INRIA, the LRDE (Epita), Mandriva, Nuxeo, Proxem, Tagmatica and XWiki.

Google Summer of Code

XWiki received Google's support since 2005 through Google Summer of Code. The program helped the funding of several R&D projects (Wiki offline, WYSIWYG editor, p2p...) with the contribution of students from high level universities around the world.

Old projects

Concerto

XWiki was selected in 2006 by the National Agency of Research for XWiki Concerto. The project is worth 2.3 million euros that stretches on two years and that brings together prestigious partners (the INRIA, OW2, the ENST, the EISTI and Mandriva) for the design of a mobile and peer-to-peer version of XWiki.

Nepomuk

XWiki has contributed, since January 2007, to the European research project NEPOMUK - FP6-027705 - through a 2 year agreement with EDGE-IT, an enterprise of the Mandriva company. NEPOMUK brings together researchers, industrial software developers, and representative industrial users, to develop a comprehensive solution for extending the personal desktop into a collaboration environment. The environment supports personal information management, sharing and exchange across social and organizational relations.
