Hi, I was trying to compare XWiki with some of the functionality of MediaWiki. One of my concerns about attchements is the security. For example,Do the page access rights in XWiki, apply also to the attachements of that page? In mediawiki, there is special page called File list where one can go and see the entire list of files uploaded to the wiki. But, if we want to allow access restrictions to those, this should not be allowed. So, does XWiki take care of this issue? Not allowing restricted users from viewing confodential attachemnts at all.

Also, what is the syntax of XWiki and how is it different from Mediawiki if at all it is?

Thanks

Note that XWiki uses Radeox as the rendering engine, so the wiki syntax can be completely changed to match the mediawiki one, but that hasn't been done yet. -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu/
