The new WYSIWYG editor has been available since XWiki Enterprise 1.8 (1.8.4

Brand new WYSIWYG editor.
We've got a great new skin / user interface on the way that's even better
than the current one.
Are you referring to v2.0 compared to v1.9? One of our primary criteria is a well-rounded, solid
WYSIWYG editor (for
non-technical users), and I'm currently basing my judgement on v2.0
milestone 2. Is v2.0 running "well enough" to use on a lightly-used
production server? Any timeline on when it will be released officially?
You can use XWiki Enterprise 1.9.2 for production purposes. Improvements to
the WYSIWYG editor in 2.0M2 have been backported to XE 1.9.2 so it's
basically the same in both versions. We find the new editor pretty solid,
specially given its relative youth, and it's only going to improve in the
future (performance improvements + support for additional browsers).
effects). A way to prevent this is to use XWiki
Enterprise Manager, to
open
XEM 2.0 based on XE 2.0 won't be released before September. Until then you
can use XEM 1.7.2 based on XE 1.9.2 .
Another question, regarding the choice of database: the download page says
one wiki per client (clients having local
accounts on those wikis) while
your developers will be global users with access to all subwikis. That
would
fit neatly with your use case I believe.
Yes, I think that sounds like it would do what we need. Is XEM released
for v2.0 yet? Or would we have to run 1.9? "Once you're more familiar with XWiki you
might want to set it up on your
own database or in your own container,..." Does this mean Jetty and/or HSQL
are not robust enough for a production wiki instance? When it says
"Standalone installation including a Jetty container and an HSQLDB database
all set up." it seems to imply that this is *just* for first-time,
inexperienced users, and maybe not for a live production system.
Yep, that's what we mean, we strongly advise you NOT to run HSQLDB as a
production database. Using MySQL or Oracle is a much better choice for
production.
Ah, I see "Currently XEM only fully supports MySQL and Oracle RDBMS."
Thanks again for your candid answers.
You're welcome :-)
