XWiki Feature Survey 2012 (XWiki.org)

Survey purpose

Dear XWiki user,

This survey aims to identify the features you are looking forward having in XWiki in order to take them into consideration in our next release cycle.

We selected about 60 features divided by sections (development tools, ease of use, wiki management etc.), which, we think, could be interesting to develop. Of course, this list is not exhaustive, so please, feel free to send us your ideas.

Some recommendations to complete the survey:

Rate each item on a scale of 0-5, 0 meaning that you are not interested by the item at all, 5 meaning it is essential for the next XWiki release cycle.
No question is mandatory. If you don't understand an item, simply go to the next one.

The questionnaire takes about ten minutes to fill.

You can respond to it until 2012/03/31. The results will be published early april.

Thank you for your time.
