+1 for webjar

I really don't like too much grouping pages based on a technical
criteria (xwiki-platform-panels-ui is very bad) so my vote goes to
putting those pages where their content make sense. So that's probably
xwiki-platform-index for most of them. However there is something I
don't understand here, how is the import UI which is a template is
supposed to work without the XAR import tree (which will happen in an
empty wiki) ?

xwiki-platform-refactoring sounds good
