Most teams have too many collaboration tools.
The wiki becomes the archive, not the place where work happens.
In XWiki, teams can work directly inside the knowledge base with:
• Real-time editing
• Comments and discussions
• Page history
• Granular permissions
• Structured pages and templatesThe goal is to keep context, decisions, and documentation together.

“Building Open Source and living from it without selling your soul.” A dramatic title? Maybe.
Ludovic Dubost’s foss-north talk is about the part of open source we don’t discuss enough: money.
How do you build software people can inspect, adapt, self-host, and leave, while still paying the team behind it?

🇪🇺 We signed the open letter calling for an Open Source First approach in Europe.
The question public institutions should ask first is simple:
🤔 Is there already a qualified open-source solution that does the job?
If yes, it should be seriously considered before creating new dependencies.
That is how digital sovereignty becomes real.

Atlassian’s 2026 AI data contribution changes raise a real question for teams using Confluence:
If your pages, comments, workflows, and metadata help improve vendor AI systems, are they still fully your knowledge?
Legal ownership is one thing. Practical control is another.
For a knowledge base, that difference matters.

Digital sovereignty becomes practical when your tools change the terms.
Pricing can rise.
Data policies can evolve.
“Hosted in Europe” does not always mean governed only by European jurisdiction.
Product lifecycles can force decisions, too.For a knowledge base, that matters.
Open source gives teams more control over hosting, auditability, adaptation, and exit.

👉 The XWiki team is at LEARNTEC in Karlsruhe this week
We’re here to talk about open-source knowledge management for education and training: How to keep documentation, learning content, and internal knowledge structured, easy to maintain, and useful as teams grow.Tomorrow, Neculai Dăscălița will also speak on the Main Stage in Hall 2 about building a knowledge base that lasts with XWiki.
If you’re at LEARNTEC, come say hello 👋

📃 Blank pages feel flexible, until every team invents its own format.
Decisions in notes. Updates in chat. Bug reports in folders.
💡With XWiki, templates and structured content let you define the shape once: fields, metadata, layout, and page types.
Less guessing. Better reuse. A wiki your team can trust.

Atlassian Data Center is reaching its end in 2029.
For some teams, cloud is fine.
For others, especially with hosting or compliance constraints, it’s not.So the question is: What’s the alternative?
What replaces what?
What changes in practice?
What are the trade-offs?A useful white paper from Open Source Experts (with XWiki & Tuleap) breaks this down:

ChatEurope is a good example of something we keep seeing: Useful AI depends on well-organized knowledge behind the scenes.
Led by @afpfr with 15 media organizations involved, ChatEurope helps people access European news by asking questions and getting clear, sourced answers.
Behind that experience is @[email protected] . Proud to have built the platform underneath it.

There is a clearer way to host your knowledge beyond the usual clouds 🌥️
XWiki Cloud gives teams a managed way to run XWiki without giving up open source, structured knowledge, and the freedom to adapt the platform to real needs.
Because cloud should make things easier, not lock things down.
-
From August 17, Atlassian says metadata and, depending on plan and settings, in-app data from Jira, Confluence, and Jira Service Management may be used to improve AI experiences across its products.
If your knowledge lives inside someone else’s platform, who decides what it is used for next?
If that conversation is starting on your side, this is a useful place to start:

💡 The hardest moment of a migration isn’t go-live.
It’s the Monday after.
When people try to work in the new system and things feel slower. Not broken. Just unfamiliar.
Most of the time, it comes down to expectations.
People expect the new tool to behave like the old one.It doesn’t.
If you’re planning a migration from Confluence, one practical step is to look at how your current macros and use cases translate in XWiki:
👉 https://xwiki.com/en/confluence-macros-alternatives/ -
📺 We want to leave Confluence. Where do we even start?
We recently hosted a session with Nextcloud to walk through what that actually looks like in practice.
Now we’ve put together a full overview of the session, including:
✔️ Key takeaways
✔️ The Q&A from participants
📌 If you’re already thinking about migration, this should help you get a clearer picture of what’s ahead.

🔐 When 15,000 users and 700 spaces move, migration is no longer just technical.
The European Parliament’s move from Confluence to XWiki shows what digital sovereignty looks like in practice: preserving structure, retaining control, and ensuring knowledge remains portable.
In this talk, we share lessons on financing migration tooling, preserving structure, and managing change at scale.

Documentation works well at the beginning.
A few pages. A few contributors. Everyone knows where things are.
As teams grow, structure weakens, ownership becomes unclear, and outdated information slowly accumulates.
How can teams prevent documentation decay?
We explored this in our recent webinar on building knowledge bases that scale.

“Cloud or on-prem?” is usually the wrong first question.
The harder, right one is: Can this platform follow our identity, security, and compliance rules without bending them?
XWiki was built to run in different hosting environments while keeping identity and governance consistent. That makes it easier to evolve infrastructure choices without putting knowledge access or control at risk.
This guide breaks down the practical options:

We’re at the @univention Summit with our partners from @openproject.
