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,

Hi Robert,
From newbie to newbie :-)
As for Comments/Attachments, I think you would want to have a look to
the "[xwiki-users] Disable and hide comments" thread started by Marie
Sauvage on November the 5th.
About strengths: the people, the data model, rights assignment and
management, Java in the background and Groovy, Velocity, HTML, Java,
JavaScript and almost anything (now or in the future) in the pages.
About pitfalls: just consider that this is a 1.2RCx release.
http://xwiki.org is a great place to start with (and to contribute to!).
This list, users(a)xwiki.org, devs(a)xwiki.org and http://jira.xwiki.org the
next steps.
HTH,

Actually we have 2 versions:
* Stable: XWiki Enterprise 1.1.2
* Experimental: XWiki Enterprise 1.2 Milestone 2
All that is listed above is available in both.
XWiki's strength is the ability to customize it in all aspects, its
scalability (as opposed to TWiki which doesn't scale as well AFAIK),
the ability to structure data to the point of being able to create
either small applications or use xwiki as an application platform for
writing full fledged collaborative applications, and in general
enterprise features like custom SSO integration, LDAP integration,
ability to gather data from external sites easily using powerful
macros and Velocity/Groovy scripts in pages.
This reminds me that we probably need a page on xwiki.org entitled
"Why choose xwiki".

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.
