Hi, I would like to see a single download on the XWiki Download page: XWiki. This distribution should be a minimal distribution (in various formats: war/jetty+hsqldb/deb/etc.) that has the minimal stuff required for EM+DW to function, to launch the Flavor selection screen and to install a Flavor. Installing the Standard/Default/KB flavor will install, as dependency, the Base Flavor and everything will be brought in with EM. This is what I remember to be the original plan for the Flavors effort and I`m still +1 for it.

I think it would be useful even for developers. Having only a zip to get to run the latest XWiki Standard flavor and starting working with, and a single place to put our patched JARS instead of looking at the good location on extensions/repository, would definitively make our life easier. However, this might be easy to create with the packager plugin for people (like me) who need it. 2017-04-04 14:40 GMT+02:00 Thomas Mortagne <thomas.mortagne(a)xwiki.com>om>: -- Guillaume Delhumeau (guillaume.delhumeau(a)xwiki.com) Research & Development Engineer at XWiki SAS Committer on the XWiki.org project
