Don’t hesitate to give us feedback about the comparison between TikiWiki and XWiki: what
you like more in XWiki, what you preferred in TikiWiki, first impressions of XWiki, ideas

I wonder if anyone can help. I started using
xwiki but have been a long time
use user of tikiwiki.
That’s very cool, we like people coming from other wikis because they come with a new eye
and at the same time they have expectations from their past wikis, so they usually have
interesting feedback to help improve XWiki. In it there is
something called "trackers" these are
basically forms. So I can create trackers that people can fill out and even
forms that reference other forms. So for instance I might have a tracker
called regions that might have two fields, State and City. So I fill out a
bunch of those for different states.
Then I can use this in another tracker so that when I select a state, a list
of cities relevant to that state entered in the previous tracker will auto
populate a drop down.
My question is, firstly, how do you create these forms (I looked at create
app and it doesn't seem to do what i want it to) and secondly how do you
reference other forms?
This is actually the strength of XWiki! :)
