11 XWiki is first and foremost a standard wiki. You might want to read up on the [[definition of a wiki>>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikiwiki]]. This section of the documentation will show you how to use all the basic features of XWiki. However XWiki is also a [[second generation wiki>>platform:Main.SecondGenerationWiki]] with powerful programming features which are documented in the [[Developer's Guide>>platform:DevGuide.WebHome]].
12 <p/>
13 Start by reading the [[Getting Started Guide>>GettingStarted.WebHome]].
14 <p/>
15 At the same time as you follow the guides below we recommend that you try out what you learn on the [[Playground>>http://playground.xwiki.org]]. This is a XWiki instance that we've set up for you so that you can easily discover the joys of using a wiki.
16 <p/>
17 After you've learnt what a wiki is and how it works, you might want to create your own XWiki:
18 * You can [[download>>xwiki:Main.Download]] XWiki and [[install>>platform:AdminGuide.Installation]] it on your machine.
19 * If you're a non-profit organization you can request an online wiki to be created for you on [[MyXWiki>>http://myxwiki.org]].
20 * If you're a commercial company you can buy some hosting from [[XWiki SAS>>http://www.xwiki.com/xwiki/bin/view/Services/Hosting]].
