+1 to put it in xwiki-platform.
+1 for the name "Standard". "Basic" and "Start" could
conflict with the
"minimal" flavor.

  Hi devs,
 We want since a while to get rid of XE and transform this custom
 distribution into an easier to maintain flavor you install on the
 default XWiki distribution. We finally allocated time in the roadmap
 to concentrate on it during 9.3-9.5 timeframe.
 The goal is to create a new flavor which would contain exactly the
 same things than XE for now.
 = The place
 My main question is: where do we put it ?
 There is two main possibilities IMO:
 1) In platform under some xwiki-platform-flavors top level module
 which would contain the current base XWiki flavor (which is the strict
 minimum to have something that just work currently) and the new
 Knownledge Base flavor
 2) In it's own repository
 2.a) Synchronized with the platform repository like XE
 2.b) With its own versioning 
 
 +1 for 1). Would also mean that we would eventually get rid of the
 xwiki-enterprise repo altogether (and move the tests to platform).
 
 I much prefer 1) which is a lot easier to maintain and release since
 this is going to be the main recommended flavor when you install
 XWiki. I really don't see the point of 2.a and 2.b does not worth the
 pain IMO.
 = The name
 The current "code name" in the core team is "Knowledge Base" but
maybe
 some of you have better ideas.
 Here are some ideas:
 1) Knowledge Base
 2) Enterprise
 3) Default
 
 4) Standard
 5) Basic
 6) Start
 I guess I prefer 4) Standard.
 The problem with KB is that currently XE is not a clean KB, it has a lot 
  of
  Groupware features. It depends if we want to have
the standard flavor
 focused only on KB, or more like a demo of features and XWiki 
 Capabilities.
  Also "Knowledge Base" for me was always
a very cryptic name.
 
 Good point. KB is indeed the "codename", but for an outside user it does
 sound too abstract.
 Ideally, it should just be "XWiki" (the feature-rich flavor that should be
 general-purpose) and "XWiki minima/base/etc." (the base flavor that is
 functional, but not of much use on its own in production).
 I think my preference would be between 3) and 4). Maybe 4) is more use
 friendly, since users might be exposed to the name. Not sure anyone wants
 to download and install something called "Default" :)
 Thanks,
 Eduard
 Thanks,

 My +1 goes to "Knowledge Base" which is more descriptive. Also I never
 really liked "XWiki Enterprise" naming since "Enterprise" suffix very
 often means that's the closed/paid version of an Open Source project
 which is not the case at all here.
 Thanks,
