Hi devs, We have a platform distribution that allows users to pick the flavor they wish to use. However we’re currently not advertising it. Instead we’re currently advertising XE on the xwiki.org download pages.
I’m proposing that we change that: * Advertise the platform distribution in the download pages of xwiki.org. We would simply call it “XWiki”, e.g. XWiki 8.3. * Move existing xwiki-platform-distribution/xwiki-platform-flavor into xwiki-platform-distribution/xwiki-platform-flavors/xwiki-platform-flavor-base * Create a new flavor in xwiki-platform-distribution/xwiki-platform-flavors/xwiki-platform-flavor-<new name here> * I’m proposing to name this new flavor "Knowledge Base” (and the module xwiki-platform-distribution/xwiki-platform-flavors/xwiki-platform-flavor-kb) since this is what most users use XWiki for. The idea, initially, would simply be to use the same deps as XE and maybe remove the Blog app (or not). * Stop distributing the XE packagings We’re already well into the XWiki 8.3 dev (M2 is planned for tomorrow Monday) so it seems a bit ambitious to do this for 8.3. We could do it for 8.4 though. WDYT? Outstanding questions: * How do we upgrade existing users using XE? WDYT?
