About three years ago, we launched a feedback survey in order to assess the development of the XWiki project. With this survey, we got a lot of ideas and propositions on how to improve the product itself, as well as its ecosystem ; and today, most of the major concerns that were reported at the time are now fixed in the last 9.11.X LTS version.

Features improved during the past three years

Across all the major concerns expressed in the 2015 survey, here are some of the main features that we improved:

• We enhanced the document edition experience by moving from GWT to CKEditor as our default WYSIWYG editor
• Extensions do not overwrite wiki home pages anymore when performing an upgrade
• Several bugs were fixed in the upgrade process and the distribution wizard, allowing XWiki upgrades to be more and more easier
• In order to keep in touch with the XWiki community, we launched forum.xwiki.org in June 2017
