Hi all,
Just an observation: if there were more documentation, code tutorials i.e.
customising the skins, writing macros, writing objects and using them,
embedding groovy and velocity code, explaination of snippets of code and how
they work, etc then a lot more people would start writing and contributing
stuff and it would snowball - so what I'm saying is that a little more work
in this area would reap great rewards. Unfortunately I don't know enough of
how XWiki works to do this otherwise I'd contribute.
Regards,
Richard Goldring

Hi Richard,
You're definitely right and your help would be greatly appreciated, even a
few changes on a page at a time. Since the launch of the new
XWiki.org(about 10 months ago) we've been doing our best to improve
it. We are aware
of the fact that documentation is lacking but at the same time we are
hopeful community work will bear its fruits in the end :-)
Thanks for your interest in XWiki, I hope to see your contributions soon on
XWiki.org :-)

Hi Richard,
I definitely agree. Let's do it. Let's all of us do it. This is a
simple way for contributors to contribute something too.
If each user was putting back was he learns in the documentation then
the doc would be awesome. They all say they don't have enough
knowledge but since most of them get their stuff working, I assume
that they get that knowledge in the end (from the source code, from
the answers on the list, etc). Apparently it's easier for them to ask
questions and then go away than writing down what they've learnt...
So yes current xwiki committers need to do their work but it'd be
also good for users and possibly power users to help too :)
Let's all work on improving it!
Thanks
