 BTW did you check the comments at

 Note that this extension is NOT developed by the XWiki dev team, it’s done
 by some individual and is in no way supported by the XWiki dev team.
 Also note that you don’t need this extension at all to implement a simple
 workflow in XWiki. It can be done easily with the notion of XClass/XObjects
 natively but you’d need to spend 1-2 days to understand these concepts.
 Actually these concepts are the main reason people use XWiki and they allow
 you to go so much further than any other wiki can go.
 If you’re serious and want to build something for the long run, I highly
 recommend that you spend 2-3 days to get familiar with XWiki before making
 an impacting change for your company.
 Some tutorials on XClass/XObjects:
 - 
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/DataModel
 - 
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/FAQTutorial
 Generally speaking you’ll find technical resources here:

  Maybe you're right, i didn't wait much,
but i spend much time trying to 
 make it work and i didn't even understand the
concept of this extension, so
 maybe it's not well documented, in 1 days i get MediaWIKI with the
 extension work properly, but i spend 3 days on XWIKI without any result, so
 maybe one another reason is documentation :)
 Yes that’s a good point. We always need to improve documentation. In this
 case however, it’s beyond our control since this is an extension
 contributed by some individual and is in no way managed by the XWiki dev
 team.
 What could help would be to have a Workflow extension developed/supported
 by the XWiki dev team. If enough people request this, this could be
 considered indeed.
 BTW most people switch from Mediawiki to XWiki because they’re quickly
 limited by Mediawiki on the “enterprise” aspects: fine-grained permissions,
 flat page hierarchy, LDAP integration, Office integration, etc.
 Thanks

make the Workflow Application work. AFAICS you’ve just posted an
 email about the Workflow issue only a few minutes/hours ago and you’re not
 even waiting for the response before deciding to migrate, that doesn’t look
 serious to me…
