This is probably a feature :-) We've removed non public spaces from  
several panels. However I agree that for users with admin rights they  
should probably be listed. Edit your panels and you should see the  
request that excludes the XWiki space. Then maybe you could file a  
JIRA issue and attach a patch to it to improve the panels?

I don't have an answer for this. Maybe others know?

There's a tags page: http://localhost:8080/xwiki/bin/view/Main/Tags
It should be very easy to write a Panel for it. I agree we need some  
panels for this. Please file a JIRA issue.

If you put stuff in the directory structure of xwiki then it would be  
xwikitest. However you can also create skins by creating a XWiki  
page, attach to it a XWikiSkins objects, etc. Then you would refer to  
it with XWiki.xwikitest. See the skin tutorial in the admin guide on  
xwiki.org

Thanks
