The Curriki product doesn't exist yet. Right now Curriki is a specific

Yes good idea. We almost have this already. If you check the code
zone, for example the applications, it tells with which product each
is bundled with. As for the platform features they're are available in
all products since it's the platform.
I'll work on adding a consolidated page for this in the future.
Thanks

I would say
that a newcomer shouldn't look at platform. He should
look
at XE, XEM, Watch.
Okay, let's say someone told you about xwiki to build your website,
giving you some examples like Curriki. You are interested and want to
see if it can fits your needs. You'll want to know how you can install
the product and adapt it to your needs, that may be wide.
So e.g. I want to know how to make a site like Curriki. How should I
proceed? And first, in which section should I have a look? There's
something missing here, maybe just a few words that say to me 'hey
guy,
if you want to build a website upon XWiki, it's that way!' Or more basically, let's say that you have
installed a distribution
of
XWiki Entreprise for you to test and let's even suppose that you have
clearly understood the difference between 'XWiki' and 'XWiki
Enterprise' (which is not always very clear for a newcomer if he heard
about XWiki as a something like 'MediaWiki' power 2).
Now you just want to build a new skin from scratch. Hmm... where
should
you have a look into? XWiki Entreprise or XWiki Platform?
Both! Try it, you'll find how to do this by navigating either from XE
or from the Platform (or from other products for that matter).
If you feel
logical, providing you've downloaded and you're using XWiki
Entreprise,
you'll have a look into the documentation for XWiki Entreprise.
Well...
wrong guess, it's in XWiki Platform.
No, it's there in XE... :)
Here's the link: http://enterprise.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/Features
This is the
goal of the home page. What's missing do you think?
Something like a diagram (or a table, at least), showing in a
glance which functionality is part of which product.
