Re: [xwiki-users] XWiki Features survey for the 6.x cycle

Hello, I cannot access to google drive from my company but as a new user on xwiki, I think xwiki must improve on several parts (I'm used to confluence): - review documentation: information is dispatched on too many pages and should be more end-users oriented exemple on rights management: - http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Access+Rights - http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Features/RightsManagement - http://enterprise.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/GettingStarted/SettingUserRights - upgrading a version is painful (jenkins is the model) and should be done from browser (my server has no access to internet) - xwiki default template contains to much information on "lifecyle" page (last modified, comments, history are present on the header - should be before title on ultra small fonts - and on the footer) - it doesn't help to focus on the content - style must be more easier to customize (exemple: how to change default font is not easy) - rights management is non intuitive (see http://enterprise.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/GettingStarted/SettingUserRights- I check with my coworkers) - wysiwyg editor: - limitation on shortcuts that applies only on selection - if I want to type some bold text, I cannot hit CTRL-B and begin to type - is is sometimes difficult to use it to control precisely text - all my coworkers use now the markup language - hierarchy: - a macro should be in the standard distribution and could be used to display subtree (the tree in "document index" is a good start) - children pages should be more accessible (not in information tab but in the footer of the page?) - asciidoc support? - copy/paste image - allow word doc import without installing libreoffice My feeling is currently a developer platform more than a end-user oriented wiki. I know that everything is customizable but simple things should be simpler to do. By the way, there are a lot of features that I love in xwiki, like the editable sections that are a must to have.
