Re: [xwiki-devs] Knowledge Base 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 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 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.
