This is not about a feature comparison where we select key features to prove that XWiki is the best compared to others. So I agree that "competitors" might not be the best word here. This is more like a list of other products that users take into consideration "instead of" or "along with" XWiki, so other products that overlap some of the usage scenarios of XWiki. The end result (as far as I understand from Gregory's initial message) is not to be able to compare XWiki with "the competition", but to extract a list of features that the community values in other products, and which they would like to see in XWiki. For example, just today I've seen mentioned that "Wordpress has many more skins available". Thus, the product in this case is WP, and the desired feature is a broad collection of skins/themes that the users can choose for their wiki. >> I'm ok with any (even Competitor is ok with me). >> >> On a side note, it's always difficult to compare 2 products since there are >> multiple angles and it's hard to have people from both products agree on the >> comparison. I'm not sure where this will lead... We don't want a feature matrix, we want a "Feature F present in Product P that's missing in XWiki" list. And to get there, we're currently gathering the list of products to look at. >>> 2.
