Actually I think we could go a step further for all applications,
templates, etc. I envision an online XWiki repository of
applications, plugins, templates, etc, and in the admin part of XE or
XEM you'll be able to see all of them ,see whether they are already
installed or not and if not, have the option to install them.
I think this is even nicer and offer more capabilities than a static
installer.
Cool a wiki-apt-get :) Yes you are right it is not very difficult to
do (when we will define xwiki application format with dependecies
etc.) and it will improve a lot xwiki usability and applications
contribs I think.

Yes that's a very good idea. Once we have separated XE into
applications we could have the following XARs:
- Blog
- Search
- Admin
- Panels
- Navigation
- Photo Album
- etc
See below for another idea.

Yes it's that, for now. I suppose latter we will have more template
(Blog wiki, Wiki wiki, ...). Hi,
I think it's a good idea. Just a more detailed thing targeting
XEM and
other multiwiki products: It would be great to have installer with
izpack "<pack></pack>" organized one wiki/xar a pack and create
sub
wiki from attached xar as you said and XWikiServer document at
installer runtime.
WDYT ?
For XEM I see 3 packs:
* Platform Core
* XEM Admin XAR
* XEM Template XAR
Is that what you mean? Now for
creating sub wikis, I think it might be best to leave that to
the XEM Admin XAR so that when an admin logs in the Admin XAR he has
the buttons for creating and administrating sub wikis. I don't see
that as a feature of the installer but more a runtime feature (as
anyway the admin needs the option of creating/removing sub wikis).
That feature already exists in the Admin wiki but It will be easier
for a user to have theses templates in an installer interface. Plus if
we have lots of template wiki (which I thinks would be great) use
installer lighten Admin wiki.
Thanks
