Hi,
XWiki can be used out of the box as a simple wiki, the only problem
being that people are usually more familiar with MediaWiki, and you
might receive a slight resistance at first. On the other hand, with a
little work from a developer, you can turn XWiki into an advanced data
acquisition tool, and this can't be accomplished in the other wiki
applications (maybe except TWiki? anyway, it won't be as easy
customizing TWiki).
So, to ease the choice, for a simple wiki you can choose any of the
above, perhaps you should make a test on the real users to see which one
they like better; if you want something more advanced, I'd say that
XWiki is the best choice.

Hi,
We are trying out XWiki, TWiki, DokuWiki and MediaWiki, to see which will
fit best in our organization as a general collaboration and information
tool, for both ever changing project work and documentation, and for more
static information.
One thing I need to find out, is if it is possible to disable the
ever-present "Comments" and "Attachment" fields on the bottom of
every page.
Can they be enabled/disabled on a per page basis, or do they have to be
removed globally (if at all possible)?
I'd appreciate if other XWiki users can mail me some trips, tricks and
traps: What should I look for specifically to experience XWiki's strengths
over the others, and what do I need to be aware of to avoid its pitfalls (if
there are any)?
Best regards,
