2014-10-08 XWiki is not only a wiki but a system that includes almost every- thing that is related to wikis. Especially, an XWiki installation is not one wiki but a family of wikis and each of them contains areas, which then contain pages. In the traditional view, one such area would be one wiki. These higher organization structures are fully integrated, hence one often slips from one area to another, without noticing it. Keeping track of where one current- ly is and getting back to where one was is quite complicated for new users. The system appears to be a sensible choice if you need to maintain a very large set of documentation and need program- ming features to add customized functions. For small wikis the system is just to complex. One thing, however, is done very well in XWiki: The profile page, personal settings, all these are ordinary wiki pages. (XWiki can include forms.) You edit them like you edit any other page. This is unexpected at first, but a nice application of the principle of generality. Outlook's address book has a horrible usability. It suffers main- ly from the interactive dialogs. You can't do anything efficient- ly. I wonder where the following ``problem'' comes from: Create an address group. When I add some address to the group, I can mark that I want to add this address as a separate entry to the ad- dress book as well. Fine. But if I forgot to mark the address the first time, I am not able to fix it later. I can edit the address (using the same form) but the ``add to address book'' checkbox is missing. This meant, I had to do the work a second time ... all manually and with lots of mouse clicks (and I had to fill in fullnames for all entries, although I didn't wanted because the addresses were all ``firstname.lastname@host'' ... and there is no technical need for a fullname). It's a shame, yes it is! If I'll meet someone who thinks that I'm a programmer, and programmers write applications such as Outlook, then I don't want to be a programmer anymore. The software I value and the software I write is sooo far different from Outlook! I have almost nothing in common with those who write such crap. http://marmaro.de/lue/ markus schnalke
