Unfortunately, while interesting, the bulk of the information in Guillaume's post would be considered Original Research (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:OR), which is not welcome to Wikipedia. Content on WP is ideally from secondary sources. So if this information exists in good independent sources, it can be sited and used, but you can't say things like "according to a Google search". The WP page for XWiki appropriately describes it as an Application Wiki. If an independent source can be found that says XWiki coined the term "second generation wiki", then it would be appropriate, and probably a good idea to mention it there. If xwiki.org has a page defining the term "second generation wiki", it might be nice to add this information there. Or maybe have a history article on xwiki.org. -Paul D.
