Hi Valdis, When I commented on your website saying that you spelled XWiki wrong, in my mind I was just trying to correct you. I expect at least people from our community to know how to spell it right. If you work with XWiki and you are an active member of this community than you part of this 'family' and you too should promote doing/writing things the 'right' way.
