2 flavors
All this sounds good to me and a real improvement compare to the current
situation.
Regarding initial flavors, I also think we should also have a somewhat
"minimal" "untainted" flavor, with mainly EM and the administration
application. This could be your default choice if you do not want to take
any decision. Not installing anything make the wiki almost unusable for experts, so I really think we need this. The
Knowledge Base flavor is
no more an acceptable default IMO.
integrate
We also agreed that the main work to be done
before we can really have
flavors is to implement Categories for extensions.
Have you already some plan for implementing that ? How could this well with normal maven package ?
Custom Maven property (not much choice in pom.xml).

WDYT?
Thanks
