Ok, I see two items:

 

  1. Current issues with inability to move content from for example word document even using WYSIWYG editor and disappearing texts doesn’t allow me to get the pages with the same content in xWiki as they were in word document
  2. I don’t want to use wiki at least now for coding something and want to use only what it provides as it’s assured on the site but in order to make it work for some cases I need to read DevGuide as well.
  3. I’m newbie for wikis since never edited wiki pages before just used as web pages for getting information but what I see that seems xWiki IRC channel is only for dev discussions or for questions that can be handled by one answer and providing 4-5 sentences for getting one answer which will work is not enough.

 

As I said that xWiki is great tool and perhaps best one for wiki but these items don’t allow me to get xWiki working now in they way as I want and since I’m newbie I don’t expect much, just get the same content from existing documents.

That cwould be good If WYSIWYG editor will be fixed and no questions will appear about their simple usage so they will not take dev team to answer.

 

All IMHO.

 

Have a good weekend.

 

Best regards,

HI All,

 

just would like to share my first week usage experience with xwiki. That's great tool and helped me at work but what I see I need to know it better and deeper. This is not easy to follow WYSIWYG editor since its usage leads to unexpected behaviour and incorrect result preview page sometimes even with disappearing the text and I need to follow macros, velocity code to get what I want. Summarizing, it's ok if only me will change the pages but will not be ok for others in the company since they don't want to spend time on velocity and introducing macros for xwiki which leads to that I can't say to them please go and edit that page by yourself.

We know that the wysiwyg editor has bugs that need to be fixed. See JIRA for the known bugs.

 

If you discover a new bug please file it so that it can be fixed.

 

Just so that you know we're also working on a new implementation of the wysiwyg editor using a different architecture (GWT) which will make it easier to maintain.

 

Thanks
