I believe the documentation stresses that the easiest is to install  
the standalone version of XWiki. This standalone version already  
includes the default wiki and it's using a HSQL DB.

Just one note: if you import the 1.0 beta 3 XAR file you won't need  
the panels XAR as it's included in the former. The panels app XAR is  
only required for users upgrading from an existing install and who  
want to keep their exsiting pages.

By "blank" wiki, I think you refer to what we call the "default"  
wiki, i.e. the import of the 1.0 beta 3 XAR file, right?

What would you suggest to improve the documentation? What other  
topics should be documented?

Yep that's missing and we need it. I believe it should be documented  
on the Panels doc page on http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Code/ 
PanelsApplication.

Once you figure it out, it would be nice if you could edit that page  
and improve the existing documentation. It's a wiki after all and  
everyone is most welcome to contribute :)

Cool, I'm glad you like it :)

Thanks
