Thanks Guillaume, I will give the FAQ tutorial a try today and see how that goes.  Thanks again for your help.  XWiki is looking better all the time!

Hi,

to do this you should probably first spend some time on this tutorial: http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/FAQTutorial to find out more about creating XWiki classes.
Then you will need to tweak the class page to add the objects you need (such as "meeting leader", "date", "content", "summary" -> the categories defined on your meeting minutes form).
The next step will be to modify the ClassSheet to display your elements the way you want them to be seen by users (using CSS). Say, a table to display participants names, the meeting title in bold and so on...
The last step will be to add an input button on a page in order to let people create new pages of that class easily.

All this may sound a bit complex and you'll probably need to dig a bit into XWiki.org... Though having done it myself I can assure you it will be worth it :-)

Whoops (its Monday) - "We will likely have areas of our blog" should be "We will likely have areas of our WIKI".

Hi Guillaume,

Sorry I was not more detailed.  I am referring to the predefined template - like a blog article.  We will likely have areas of our blog for things such as meeting minutes, and we would like to use our standard format to post these.  How do I go about creating those?

Hi Sheila,

When you are talkign about pages look and feel, what exactly do you mean? If you are talking about the general view of the wiki, you will have to look into the Skin configuration. If you are talking about creating new pages that are supposed to follow a predefined template (such as a blog article template that would typically include the article's title, publication date, author name and so on) then you can definitely do it and create as many page templates as you want to using XWiki.

So the short answer is that creating pages with a standard look can be done easily. I would be glad to answer you in greater length but i would be easier if I had a better descrpition of what you have in mind.

We would like some pages to have the same look and feel and for users to be able to add a page with a standard "look" to it.  Can that be done?  I couldn't find any documentation on it.
