Pardon my ignorance .. I thought that XEM and Watch worked by running on top of XE? Can they run independantly as well?

Re the different product, here's a copy paste from the home page of xwiki.org: * XE: "A fully-featured wiki for the Enterprise. It's also a second generation wiki offering the ability to install and develop small applications inside wiki pages." * XEM: "An application to manage a farm of wikis, allowing large-scale organization and massive scalability." * Watch: "A social RSS reader allowing groups to collaboratively follow information news and filter it." Without knowing your need I can't tell you which one is more suited for you... Re the commercial product, as is stated on xwiki.org all the XWiki project sources are open source and under the LGPL license. Now if you want professional support, services, training, etc then this can be provided by XPertNet the company which started XWiki. What is missing that you'd like to see on the web site?
