It sounds like the best thing for new wiki's at this point is to utilize 2.0 only from the start and avoid 1.0 if possible. -- Glenn > _______________________________________________ > devs mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs _______________________________________________ devs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs
