Addressing the long tail of applications


We'll demonstrate how a next generation wiki platform allows to do just that by using the XWiki open source project as an example.

Every day we imagine some new apps we'd love to have: having an application to allow people to submit talks, to register new holiday requests, expense reports, simply get data from one site and combine it with data from another site and display that, etc. This is the long tail of application (see http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/SecondGenerationWiki).

However in most cases we just drop the idea and continue with our life because we know it would take days or weeks to be able to develop that quickly before you could reap the benefits.

What if there was a way to have these apps developed and working in just a few minutes!
