8.2 | 5 | There's often a need to have structured information. For example you might want to use a wiki to collaboratively enter data, but you'd still like that data to be organized so that it can be searched and manipulated programmatically. In XWiki it's possible to present users with fields they have to fill in when editing a page. |

8.1 | 23 | Another good example of form utilization on XWiki.org is the [[References page>>xwiki:References.WebHome]]. When an user wants to add a new reference, the only thing he has to do is to type in the name of the reference he wants to add. He is then presented with a form he can fill in easily. Check it out and add your own project **[[here>>xwiki:References.WebHome]]**! |
