Hi Sergiu
Hi Vencent

Thank you for your answer and sorry it took me so long to respond.

This weekend I should have time to look into it and upload the code.

I would be ready to maintain the code. I will leave the decision on  
the how and where to place the code to you. Feel free to chose the  
option you like best.

We are using xwiki mainly as base for our content management /  
information management system. The focus is on easy accessible in  
place editing. To be a little more specific a few examples:
- Editing page content, banners, ... in place and not having to search  
for it in a backend.
- Adding, renaming, moving pages (in the menu) directly on the page  
using a right click context menu.
- different plugins as e.g. Photo albums, Blog (own / extended version  
of xwiki Blog), Shop

So we use overall the API and the scripting possibilities of xwiki and  
not the front end since we use our own skins. For most actions we have  
written our own versions (view, edit, import, ...).

What I like XWiki is its flexibility. Its easy to add plugins and  
include the code on a page. I also like the multilingual capabilities  
(different language content as a users, dictionary as a developer) and  
the versioning with the possibility to trace changes. Another great  
tool is the classes / objects model, especially with the possibility  
to use custom mappings for "heavy used" classes.


Thanks
Edo
