Hi Caty,
Sounds good generally. Some feedback:
* It seems verbose. I would put a single box for the version.
* Not sure what “installation” is. “Production” and “Demo”?
* I would have an order on the boxes. Production or Demo should come first for ex.
* If you choose Production then, I would prefill the version with the LTS version by
default.
* The OS field should be auto-guessed
I'm really not sure about this one since it's a server software you
rarely want to install it on the OS you are browsing from.
* The packaging will also be defined automatically
based on the answer from installation & OS
* The version should be the last question since the packaging doesn’t depend on it.
Actually it doesn’t even make sense for some packaging such as debian since you don’t
download anything. But I guess the command line we show could specify the version.
* IMO it’s missing the concept of recommended packaging. So I would make the defined
packaging be the recommended one and make it clear (for ex when you click the arrow you’ll
see “Recommended Packaging” and then below “Other Packagings”.
Thanks!

Hi Devs,
I'm curious what you think about this direction for the Download / Install
page on xwiki.org:
Iteration 1
https://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Install/LDJEasierInstallationFl…
Changes:
* Download renamed to Install
* Form at the beginning to select the version, OS, type and package
* Depending on the user selection, there is an option to Download the
package, or you just get Installation steps (personalized for each option
selected).
I've iterated currently just for the ZIP package (for Demo+Mac), but
imagine something similar for all the other packages.
What do you think? Should I continue in this direction?
Thanks,
Caty
