 Make installation possible on Ubuntu from deb - it does not work at all. Always get "Could not initialize main XWiki context" no mater what I do

 I tried it on my local mac to create a base of my notes and materials around web development
 I like in XWiki
 - a lot of of plugins (skins, little useful plugins like columns)
 - exellent administrative tools
 - blog
 - dynaamic search, it's great!
 but think it need some improvements
 - more handy visual editor (like in wordpress or typo3 6)
 - set of styles in visual editor like in wordpress. I don't like insert and edit preformated text in special window
- i have not find how to create in visual editor  a couple of my own styles and throw out h5, h6.
 - basic skin like skin on your official site: it's have more strict design and more capacious and easy to read typographics.

 Live upgrade. Importers (I have a tikiwiki with 900+ pages that I want to bring into xwiki).  Better documentation of the XAR format.

 1) I would need a plugin for free dashboard (whiteboard). This would be very helpful to edit a page while learning for example is a similar way to a white paper where you can draw a chart, take notes and so on. For the beginning to have the functionality of a image editor would be enough. So i expect to edit in the web page images which in the end to be saved as image. Beside this o found almost everything i ever need. Thanks !
 2) The default interface i think is too complex. I would prefer it simpler (similar to wikipedia.org) not so many feeds, activity, and so on. Just settings link, add edit page / space and the page content, other part to be customization but not defaults. (It' fine how it is, that suggestion is personal thought)

 XWiki ist the technically best and most impressive Wiki and XWiki belongs the future. But you have to care about bringing your power to the customers and users. That means:
 - Rating  and better maintainance of PlugIns/Apps
 -> 'App' is not just a word, it is a religion. With the ApplicationManager you are doing everything right. But nobody knows what's good to try for a extension/plugin (ratings and commends is a must have) and...
 - it should be perfect stable to add/remove these extensions
 - no experimental things in the stable version. stable means stable.
 All in all you are doing most of things right! With hiding technical documents and the brand new Distribution Manager (like it) you have responded the last XWiki survey. So there is nothing to add here, what is not in the survey

 It's a powerful tool and I have selected by variety of tools that supports.
 I have some problem with a migration from Confluence to XWiki. I'm not sure about origin of them, but sometimes throw a Java Heap space.
 I migrated 460 pages with a structure tree of four level of pages. Ramdomly I received heap space errors, and I'm trying to solve ot

 Tutorials in programming guide schould be in the latest syntax in both scripting language (Groovy and Velocity).

 I find the UI too cluttered, specially at the top, where it has too many menus and buttons. Things should be simpler, maybe some options could come to the bottom of the page and/or be hidden.
 There should be a way to have spaces inside spaces, at least with 1 level of depth.
 When showing changes i wish you could show them as "Space.Page" or "Space.ParentPage.Page". I say this because if we have "Space1.page" and "Space2.page" and we alter Space1.page in the widgets i see "page" and do not know at a glance in which space was it altered.
 Overall i think the software as lots of potential and i'm pretty happy with it. I've been doing a pilot for our team intranet and we are going to keep using it. My goal is to have a production ready wiki in 2/3 months.

 XWiki is great. We use it for the company intranet with great success - the only caveat is that it is generally slow, painfully so in some instances.

  More user-friendly wysisyg editor.  More configuration tools to assist in migration/setup.

 NEED: MARK PART OF THE DOCUMENT AS "DO NOT PRINT THIS TO PDF/RTF/ETC"

 Parts of the document should be able to be marked as "do-not-print". We use them for the documentation, and provide documentation as prints to the end customers. However, there are parts which is needed only for internal use. Therefore we previously implemented our own macros like so:

 #no_print_start

 here is the internal documentation

 #no_print_stop

 With the most recent version this does not work, and it would be great to have this feature inbuilt somehow.

I have tried for several times to contact the users-list, but it seems that mails do not reach the list. I have an issue with pdf export which causes the xwiki to fail if there is an image in the page.

 In my oppinion the biggest disadvantage is lack of Kerberos authentication. Second thing to improve is mechanizm of page templates, i.e. when many pages with similar content need to be created, but creating datamodel (objects) for page content is not necessary.

 Templates should be more simple.
 Creation of snippets (macros) that can be added to many pages. If I change my snippet it will reflect in all pages. It should be more simple.
