Hi guys,
It would be nice to have a guide on xwiki.org about this topic of stripping the default
XE.
Basically you have 2 approaches:
1) Don't import the default XE XAR (ie you start with an empty wiki, no pages)
2) Start with the default XE XAR and make modifications to it
Choosing 1) or 2) really depends if 2) is close to what you need or not.
Choosing 2) is the easiest though since it's easier to remove things than to create
new stuff from nothing :)
If you can tell us what you don't want, we could maybe tell you how to turn them
off/make them disappear.
Once we figure out together how to remove stuff, would be great if you guys could start a
guide on xwiki.org about how to remove stuff and stip down xwiki!
Thanks

Hi Scott,
I am not aware of a "Strip down Guide" but I had the same issue here.
What I did is just simply build op a space for the endusers, in which I
created 3 Custom Panels for navigation purposes, nothing more.
This you can easily do when you go to the space preferences and look at the
panel wizard.
Here you can edit panels and place them accordingly in your layout.
You should be aware of the fact that the users go to the main wiki
(non-enduser in your case) by clicking the logo, you might want to change
this, the same goes for the displayed search results.
You can also predefine if endusers should see the Comment box at the bottom
of the page or not, etc.
IMO the great thing of Xwiki is exactly this, you are in total control of
what the endusers can see and are allowed to do.
I hope this helps a bit, if you have more questions please feel free to let
me know.
Kind regards and good luck,
Wouter

I'd like some guidance on heading towards a very minimal xwiki
configuration, at least for end users. The default xwiki UI is pretty
complex.
I'd like users to see this:
content (edit, print)
search box
minimal side bar
backlinks
(and not much more)
Is there a guide on how to strip down what a normal user sees to the bare
essentials?
Thanks,
Scott
