Sorry I must have missed it. You have a markmail link to your comment so I can see the context? For me it’s not a major problem to have a flavor inside platform that depends on contrib stuff. We’re already doing this with xwiki-enterprise and the KB flavor is the same as xwiki-enterprise (moved to xwiki-platform). Having KB in xwiki-platform is just a way to clearly show that this flavor is maintained by the XWiki Core dev team. And to be able to maintain its quality since this is the main flavor that people will use. Actually I wouldn’t mind either if we wanted to move it out of the xwiki github org and put in xwik-contrib. Cons: - a bit less control on its quality - additional release work for the Release Manager. We need to at least release it at the same time as we release new versions of the base distribution so that our users have something they can use. - we might need to separate the RN for the base distribution from the RN for the KB flavor (since the KB flavor can have more releases and it would no longer be “core”). - the xwiki github org doesn’t deliver any immediately usable distribution. Pros: - ability to release the KB flavor more often than the base distribution - ability to let other member of the community contribute more easily to it - we no longer have any contrib dependency inside the XWiki github organization The pros are tempting :) WDYT?
