Hi, 2 new proposals (P6 and P7) have been made recently. I did not yet get the chance to add comments/analysis on them. Feel free to do it in the meanwhile if anybody wants to.
A few notes on Jeremie's "Proposal7: DistrbutionWizard sets the homepage of a flavor and the Help App teaches users" [2]: Personally, I find it a rather elegant solution based on separation of concerns. However, you need to be aware that it is a medium/long term objective. The way I understood it is that we delegate the task of choosing a homepage to the DistributionWizard that will most likely be in charge of offering the user flavor options. At that point, the homepage of the current wiki will be the homepage of the user selected flavor. Optionally, we can also propose to use a blank page as homepage if the user wants, however this might be a bit of an overkill, since the user can easily edit the page and trash everything. The task of teaching the user is delegated exclusively to the Help Application, with the note that the application will also be proposed to the user to be redirected to, as a final step in the DW (after the installation of the user selected flavor is complete). All of this assumes that we have a properly working Flavors feature and Help Application. However, what should we do in the meanwhile for the default XWiki Enterprise UI / Flavor / build? Should we postpone yet again any work on the homepage until we have the needed elements to delegate the problematic aspects, or should we do something about it in the meanwhile?
