Hi,

First: I am rather new to XWiki.

I am checking XWiki's scripting capabilities. The possibility of using Groovy and Velocity directly within pages is a nice feature. But I was wondering if there was an easier way to integrate dynamic contents into wiki pages. Groovy is easier than Java but you still need advanced programming skills to use it. In my opinion staying at the Groovy level is not user-friendly when you think that wikis are aimed for a broad audience. Most advanced wikis (TWiki or Deki Wiki for example) give simple scripting syntaxes thought for users with no programming skills.

Is there anything like that foreseen for XWiki?

The same applies to the form ant template system. It seems impossible for a normal user to use them. I was surprised to find the how-tos for these features in the developer guide, not the user guide.

Thanks,
William
