Hi Stephen, Sure we want much better documentation than there is now. These are all good ideas.. One of the things we need to solve first is how the documentation will be managed. Currently there is: - a FAQ on XWiki.com which has mainly general stuff and some stuff related only to XWiki.com - a Tutorial to XWiki on XWiki.com - a default wiki for XWiki.com (in French and English) - a default wiki for offline installs (in English only) The offline install default wiki differs very slightly from the XWiki.com default wiki. One could be derived from the other. I'm not sure the XWiki documentation should be copied over to the offline wiki install. I'm more a fan of a link to the online documentation. Maybe we could trick the wiki to display this documentation inside the local wiki look and feel (if the skin was changed) using InterWiki includes (which would be needed to be developed but would make a lot of sense). Now I think we should move the documentation to the xwiki.org web site in a specific area. Using some XWiki classes, we can mark the documentation articles that are specific to XWiki.com. We can definitively open the default wiki to developer's editing so that people can contribute to it's improvement. We can then have an automated export to XML so that we can release it on ObjectWeb regularly. Documentation is a weak part of XWiki. We are definitively looking for people that can help in this area.

Are there any plans to develop improved documentation for the 1.0 release?
In the initial wiki installation, it would be nice if there were a nice "Getting Started" guide for users that explains how to do basic wiki administration, etc.
One way to develop this might be to create a virtual wiki at something like home.xwiki.org where current Xwiki users could contribute to developing the initial home page that appears in a default installation. Thoughts?
Stephen
