I'm not I've understood you. I think we should keep the current  
rights managements as the default one in 1.1.2 (with the option in  
xwiki.cfg for switching to the new one - This option would be used by  
XEM for example).

I agree we should release Core+Web together since they are together  
in JIRA (same JIRA project). Actually I have a proposal to put them  
in the same trunk/, branches/, tags/ but that's for later.

Now for XE I don't think we have to release it at the same time.  
However since xwiki.org is still not organized with  
platform.xwiki.org, enterprise.xwiki.org, etc we haven't yet  
explained to users how XWiki is composed and I believe we need to do  
that before we can release stuff fully separately.

ok so it seems we agree on point 3). What about 2) and 4) Thomas?

Thanks
