I think it would be useful even for developers. Having only a zip to get to
run the latest XWiki Standard flavor and starting working with, and a
single place to put our patched JARS instead of looking at the good
location on extensions/repository, would definitively make our life easier.
However, this might be easy to create with the packager plugin for people
(like me) who need it.

Hi,
I would like to see a single download on the XWiki Download page: XWiki.
This distribution should be a minimal distribution (in various formats:
war/jetty+hsqldb/deb/etc.) that has the minimal stuff required for EM+DW
to
function, to launch the Flavor selection screen
and to install a Flavor.
Installing the Standard/Default/KB flavor will install, as dependency,
the
Base Flavor and everything will be brought in
with EM.
This is what I remember to be the original plan for the Flavors effort
and
I`m still +1 for it.
This is the plan (at least it's mine :)) but that does not really
answer the question: should we maintain a jetty/hsqldb package of the
KB flavor for testers who knows where to get it.
Thanks,
Eduard
