The new WYSIWYG editor has been available since XWiki Enterprise 1.8 (1.8.4 was out in May), the new skin will hopefully be available from XWiki Enterprise 2.0 onwards (next September). > One of our primary criteria is a well-rounded, solid WYSIWYG editor (for > non-technical users), and I'm currently basing my judgement on v2.0 > milestone 2.

Improvements to the WYSIWYG editor in 2.0M2 have been backported to XE 1.9.2 so it's basically the same in both versions. We find the new editor pretty solid, specially given its relative youth, and it's only going to improve in the future (performance improvements + support for additional browsers). > effects).

XEM 2.0 based on XE 2.0 won't be released before September. Until then you can use XEM 1.7.2 based on XE 1.9.2 . Another question, regarding the choice of database: the download page says > "Once you're more familiar with XWiki you might want to set it up on your > own database or in your own container,..." Does this mean Jetty and/or HSQL > are not robust enough for a production wiki instance? When it says > "Standalone installation including a Jetty container and an HSQLDB database > all set up." it seems to imply that this is *just* for first-time, > inexperienced users, and maybe not for a live production system. Yep, that's what we mean, we strongly advise you NOT to run HSQLDB as a production database. Using MySQL or Oracle is a much better choice for production. Ah, I see "Currently XEM only fully supports MySQL and Oracle RDBMS." > > Thanks again for your candid answers.
