Survey on XWiki Features

This survey aims at letting us know which features you're looking forward having in XWiki.

Please rate each feature on a scale ranging from 0 to 5 to let us know which ones are of interest to you. 0 means you don't care about it, 5 means you want it bad.

Tips

If you put 5s everywhere, we won't learn much ;-)
No question is mandatory - simply skip those you don't care about
