Hi, I just switched from MediaWiki and installed XWiki 1.1m3, and I found
section editing and collaborative editing one page in xwiki is not so well
supported compared with MediaWiki. And I have several questions:
(1) Instead of using h2 tag to automatically add a section editing icon,
could I manually tag a paragraph as a section and edit it?
(2) Even if I divide the whole page into several sections with h2 tag, when
different users edit different sections in one page, xwiki still indicates
someone locks the page, is it possible to get smaller lock granularity and
lock just the section rather than the whole page?
I think wiki is a collaborative tool, and editing one page in the same time
is a very important functionality and should be well
supported.Anysuggestion is appreciated, thanks.
Regards,

This feature isn't implemented. Is that something Mediawiki does?

This is a bug. Would you mind creating a JIRA issue for it? (in the
XWiki Platform project - http://jira.xwiki.org)

Agreed.
FWIW we're working on some research project that would allow to
modify simultaneously the same page and still resolve all conflicts
automatically... ;) But that's not for now. We need some more time...
So for now we need to improve what we have. (2) is definitely a bug.
(1) is harder to do and we would more information as to how this
would work from a user point of view (like how do you tag a paragraph
for example).
Thanks

I can't speak about the "other stuff", but we have a number of users
moving from MediaWiki to XWiki. One of the first questions they have
passed to me is where is the nice granularity MediaWiki has while
editing a document. For us is quite a regular situation to have several
users working in the same doc. It is possible to split the doc into
several sub-docs, but it is for us much more convenient to keep these
subsections together in the same document.
Cheers,
