Vincent, Thanks for writing this new section - it makes it clearer! I didn't understand that XE uses the Struts/Velocity MVC architecture (http://velocity.apache.org/tools/devel/struts/index.html). Now I understand that (and have read up on it) XWiki seems a lot more understandable!
If you have time more detail on the architecture would help even more (specifically the wiki specific 'business logic' and page rendering, plugins, etc), but what you've already written has certainly given me and others a good start for understanding XE. Thanks again.
