My point is it's all a > little too vague for my comfort. One thing to note: this task manager app is not written nor supported by the XWiki dev team. It's been contributed by individuals and is supported by them or any contributor who wants to help. The quality of the code you find on code.xwiki.org varies a lot. All we can guarantee here is the code that is developed by the XWiki dev team. In general if apps on code.xwiki.org break it's because they haven't been updated at the same rate as the XWiki platform and in general it's really not much to make them work (a few minutes of work). The FAQ tutorial works well AFAIK. IMO you've probably forgotten some steps (in one step you must edit the default template to set in which space new FAQ documents are created - not that it matters, it'll work wherever they are created) or have set up some different configuration for the default wiki syntax for new pages.
