Hi guys, It would be nice to have a guide on xwiki.org about this topic of stripping the default XE. Basically you have 2 approaches: 1) Don't import the default XE XAR (ie you start with an empty wiki, no pages) 2) Start with the default XE XAR and make modifications to it Choosing 1) or 2) really depends if 2) is close to what you need or not. Choosing 2) is the easiest though since it's easier to remove things than to create new stuff from nothing :) If you can tell us what you don't want, we could maybe tell you how to turn them off/make them disappear. Once we figure out together how to remove stuff, would be great if you guys could start a guide on xwiki.org about how to remove stuff and stip down xwiki!

Hi Scott, I am not aware of a "Strip down Guide" but I had the same issue here.
What I did is just simply build op a space for the endusers, in which I created 3 Custom Panels for navigation purposes, nothing more. This you can easily do when you go to the space preferences and look at the panel wizard. Here you can edit panels and place them accordingly in your layout. You should be aware of the fact that the users go to the main wiki (non-enduser in your case) by clicking the logo, you might want to change this, the same goes for the displayed search results. You can also predefine if endusers should see the Comment box at the bottom of the page or not, etc.
IMO the great thing of Xwiki is exactly this, you are in total control of what the endusers can see and are allowed to do.
I hope this helps a bit, if you have more questions please feel free to let me know.
Kind regards and good luck,
Wouter

I'd like some guidance on heading towards a very minimal xwiki configuration, at least for end users. The default xwiki UI is pretty complex.
I'd like users to see this: content (edit, print) search box minimal side bar backlinks (and not much more)
Is there a guide on how to strip down what a normal user sees to the bare essentials?
