Dear Community,

My organization(a division in a US Federal Government agency) is going to
select a wiki engine for a trans-organization collaboration effort. The
current candidates are Confluence, XWiki, MediaWiki and Microsoft
Sharepoint Wiki. I tried to promote XWIKI but have only used it in a very
small scale environment (< 5 users). If you have used it in a production
scale and can provide me some feedbacks based on the following
questionnaire, it will be a great help for me to show to my manager.

Thank you in advance!
