Yep,
about that the simplest thing to do is to put all your development pages in
a /view/Dev/ space, and then use #includeTopic("Dev.ScriptPage") to display
them in usual content-only wiki pages while preserving the ability to use
the WYSIWYG editor for basic users...
Once you do this the WYSIWYG editor starts becoming useful again... be sure
to use the latest XWiki version too since it usually has had more bugs
corrected :-)

Hello *,
I quite agree with all that's been said in this topic about usability. I
must say also as old 0.9 versions user, that usability, user-friendliness,
have been considerably improved since these old versions, thanks to xwiki
great team ;-) So I believe this will continue to evolve and be better and
better with new releases.
About scripting : in my team we had "basic" end-users (not quite
participative to start with), and 2 admins (including me). As admins we
added much dynamic features in many pages, scripting, groovy, HTML, SQL
requests and so on … Now end-users are much more participative, and problem
is that :
- we broke possibility of using WYSIWYG editor on these highly
dynamic pages
- for end-users, editing these kind of pages is an awful
experience, because it's not human-readable anymore (accepting developers
are not completely human ;) ).
In my opinion with XWiki architecture it should be strongly advised to
separate "pure content" pages and dynamic or complex pages, using macros for
example. It's a good development practice anyway, but you might not think
about it when you start working on a wiki site.
Anyway I don't regret using XWiki because it's a great wiki IMO, and I
really appreciate the way it evolves

I'm happy to hear that. I hope I didn't seem to harsh on the feedback.
I do think xwiki is a nice product!
then we hope you'll keep using it :-)
Feedback isn't too harsh, it's important
for us to be aware of how XWiki
users feel about our software. And hopefully
you'll be bringing improvements
to it on your own soon ;-)
