33.1 | 3 | The objective of this is to create an extensible framework to import export data between wikis from a rich UI. It includes converting and importing the data into XWiki from various supported export formats of other wikis. Mostly it will be a batch import along with text, metadata, links, attachments etc.. The export feature involves exporting the XWiki data into syntax free formats like XML (XDOM). |
