Re: [xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Terminology for xwiki.org

I think they are ok, although I find it to be a lot of terminology. Still not sure why we need the "XWiki N.P". First of all is a mix of

plus I am not sure why we should give it such an importance that it

the terminology. I would use "since 7.4.1" instead, just like we have

all our documentation done for a particular version.

Also “XWiki Platform”: synonymous for “XWiki Core” I find it to be confusing and I think we should use Core instead if we want to talk about everything.

Also we are keep talking about "Default Flavor" which currently now is "XWiki Enterprise" but it will change. Still the logo will be XWiki, so will we want to brand somehow the "Default Flavor"? or we just keep it XWiki? For the users "Default Flavor" = "XWiki", but I guess we will need to discuss this when the Flavors will evolve.
