So you want to remove this flavor. You don't need to install any
flavor to have an empty wiki.

My point is that we should only offer 2 things:
1) the KB flavor
2) or let the user not choose any flavor and have an empty wiki (no wiki pages and
minimal set of core extensions) Hi,

Hi devs,
Since 8.0 we have in xwiki-platform a flavor simply called "XWiki
Flavor" which contains more or less the strict minimum to have
something you can call an XWiki instance (Administration, Extension
Manager, a home page, etc.).
Since we want to promote the new Knowledge Base flavor have a
concurrent called "XWiki" is not really making it a favor so we should
probably find another name for it.
Here are some ideas:
1) "XWiki" Flavor, it's Ok after all
2) "Default" Flavor
3) "Base” Flavor
4) "Lite" Flavor
5) "Mini" Flavor
6) "Minimum" Flavor
7) "Pico" Flavor
8) <another word that means small> Flavor
This raises a question: Why do we have such a flavor? I don’t think we need one if we
have the KB flavor.
The only flavor that would make sense to me is a
“Base” flavor that is **empty** (ie no wiki pages) and that serves as a common base
minimum for other flavors. It would contain the bare minimum to have an XWiki runtime.
Note sure what is your point exactly. You want to discuss if it's
allowed to install it as flavor or if it's only a dependency of
another flavor ?
What is the “XWiki Flavor” right now? You mentioned that it contained wiki pages (such as
home page):
"contains more or less the strict minimum to have
something you can call an XWiki instance (Administration, Extension
Manager, a home page, etc.).”
This doesn’t look like the minimum to me.
So the first thing to agree is about the scope of this “base” flavor. Then we can name
it.
When it was introduced it was defined as the flavor containing what we
think is common to any kind of flavor, the core UI extensions
basically like you have the core jar extensions on the WAR side.
If it’s a minimal empty flavor then the best name for me are:
- “Minimal"
- "Base"

Thomas Mortagne I don't think keeping "XWiki" is
such a great idea. Default is even worst.
I like "Lite" but might sound too much like "the very limited free
version, you are going to have advertisement in a month" theses days.
If I had to vote for only one it would be "Mini" but I'm fine with any
of the following proposals.
Thanks,
