FeedbacksI looked at a number of wiki projects to use at work (we are replacing mediawiki) and XWiki was easily ahead of the others. It also won out over Confluence which I guess many people would see as the class-leading "enterprise wiki".
10+ years of experience w/ @confluence & I must say, I'm hard pressed to find anything that I need there, that @XWiki does not provide.
Overall * Comparable in functionality to Confluence * Vast set of extensions * Flexible and mature extension APIs * Active and responsive community * Written in most popular programming language: Java * Healthy project architecture and development process * Focus on quality We have used several opensource wiki systems, but in terms of ease of configuration, support and functionality - XWiki is the ultimate winner
I've been looking for an open source wiki with rich text editing. In some ways it's the OpenOffice replacement for Sharepoint.
