+0 for "Standard" (the definition is accurate but it definitively miss some
sex-appeal)
-1 for "Default" which is the opposite of sex-appeal.
Vanilla might be a problem for users, but at least it was a cool name :)

I kind of like it :)
However, I`m not so sure about non-techinical users or how that goes with
other stuff that we already or might produce, since we don`t really have
a
pattern on that. Fun proposal, though.
My POV:
* The wikipedia page on “Vanilla” shows that the name is perfect from a
technical POV. It really represents what we want.
* I think most of our users are non-tech and wouldn’t understand it since
I don’t think the “Vanilla” terminology is that common outside of tech
circles
So I agree that it’s a fun proposal but we’ll get users asking us
frequently why we chose an ice-cream flavor for an XWiki flavor ;)
Thus I’m also hesitating but I think I’m more -0 since “XWiki Vanilla"
sounds more like a code name than a real name. I think that I still prefer
“Standard” or “Default” ATM (with a small preference for “Standard” which
has a bit more meaning than “Default” for me). Now if everyone else prefers
“Vanilla”, I wouldn’t oppose it, as I also find it fun and to the point.
Thanks

Thanks,

“Standard
