Indeed :-) We actually never voluntarily made XWiki complicated to use,
which is a nice testimonial to our Open-Source commitment while at the same
time an acknowledgement of our current QA & usability flaws.

With such a statement, one might think that it is difficult to setup
in order to need commercial support :-)
As much as I agree that user feedback is crucial to a
project's
quality, 2.1.1 is a production release not a rc or beta so such
problems should not occur. As we are looking for an immediate usage, I
can't see myself going to management with such visible features not
working. Nevertheless, in the next few days I will document the
encountered problems on your bug tracking system.
I see. Indeed, given your short deployment timeframe recommending XWiki
would be a bit risky. When do you plan to put your new collaboration
solution in production? Anyway, thanks for taking the time to provide us
with your feedback, I'm looking forward to your additions to JIRA.
I'd be interested in knowing which piece of software you'll be using instead
of XWiki and which feature made you choose it instead of XWiki (besides the
issues listed above obviously).
Guillaume
Best Regards
Simon Glet

you were to agree to reconsider your current stance and give a
little of your time to the community in order to help us make XWiki fit
your
needs.
