Will the 1.0B1 release include replacement of htmlarea with the new wiki
syntax editor?
wysiwyg editing and integrating/attaching images are the main "usability"
issue for us creating documentation at this point. I'm trying to beat
dreamweaver on simplicity.
And sometimes velocity trips on various things since we have been
putting old html pages into the xwiki database. Everything else is
really great!!
Thanks,

Hi,
This is our main priority between 1.0B1 (coming out beginning of May) and 1.0
(between May and September).
We plan to improve the look (polished as you say) with involvement of
specialists and the feel (presentation, organization, ease of use features
with some in AJAX).
We'd love some help on this. We will probably take a Google Summer of Code
project in this area.

Hi all,
I have installed several wiki-ish/collab apps within my intranet so we
can test drive them and pick one by the end of the month ( twiki,
mediawiki, confluence, xwiki, jspwiki, snipsnap, sharepoint, etc ).
So far xwiki is one of the best from the dev point of view. It is
free, flexible ( makes for a nice platform for quick day-to-day
inhoues apps ), and 100% java. And since we are all geeks, it makes
for a nice toy.
But from the usability POV it lags behind.
* Forms and buttons are not polished ( interaction is awkward and
feedback is sometimes ambigous )
* There is too much on the screen
I really believe you should focus on improving the UI, as it accounts
for a large part of the perceived value... take a look at twiki,
confluence or SnipSnap ( and even mediakiwi and it's sound simplicity
).
Is something on these lines planned for the next release? Dates?
I am tweaking the templates to see how far I can go, but I'd rather
stay aligned with you guys.
Great work ;),
Aldo
