XWiki

From http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/WebHome

XWiki is a TWiki clone written in Java which supports many popular features of other Wikis like:

• Wiki syntax (uses Radeox engine)
• Content management (view/edit/preview/save)
• Version Control
• Attachments
• Rights Management
• Full-text Search

It also has many advanced features that many other wiki engines lack:

• Document Templates to ease creation of common documents.
• Relational Database storage using Hibernate.
• Design Engine for Meta-Data and Forms.
• In-place (inline) editing of form information in pages.
• Powerfull programming API in documents (Velocity or Groovy)
• Search API for more detailed searching in the Meta-Data.
• Plugin System in Java.
• Plugin compatibility layer in perl with some TWiki plugins.
• Scalability and Performance using J2EE.
• Complete Skin System (templates content as well as CSS).
• RSS output and display of external RSS feeds
• Multi-Lingual capabilities
• XML/RPC Remote API
• Portlet Integration
• Integrated Statistics
• PDF Export
• WYSIWYG HTML Editing

See XWiki:Main/WhyIsXWikiDifferent for more information about what differentiates XWiki from other WikiEngines.

in particular, features that other wikis have and that XWiki should have:

• Automatic Table of Content using a tag (TWiki has that)
• Tag libraries to simplify displays of information from the Wiki (SnipSnap has many of these)
• Advanced plugins like the DatabasePlugin, ChartPlugin and Table sorting plugins of TWiki (Part of this can be done using Groovy and eXo)

XWiki has a more advanced handling of attachments, see UserGuide/Attachments. I like the visibility of the attachment twisty as well, it is hard to miss.

Hi everybody!!

I'd like someone to share his experience/knowledge and, please, help me to point out the main differences between those two products.
My main concerns are related with:

1. usability (especially regarding the WYSIWYG editor)
   
2. security
   
3. access control
4. statistics
5. auditing features

I'd really appreciate any help.
Thank you
