Hi everyone,
I’m pleased to announce the first alpha version of the Replication Application. This project has two main goals:
- provide a framework to easily share data between configured XWiki instances
- thanks to this new tool, implement the automatic replication of wiki pages between XWiki instances
The 0.1 features are:
- a very basic administration UI to link instances between them
- the main focus of this version was the low level framework:
- an API is available for anyone to send custom messages and receive them in a component implementing the

A new 0.x version is planned to be released every month until the 1.0. The main focus for the next one is to work on conflict handling for wiki page replication.
