Actually I wanted to say that it has to meet 2 criteria but I probably wasn’t clear that it was an “AND” and not an “OR”: “ We have a pretty good definition of core already: - All modules that make up the base distribution. - Modules maintained and developed by the XWiki Core Deve team (i.e. located in a repo in the XWiki organization on github) “ So the KB flavor doesn’t meet this definition (since it’s not in the base distribution). But anyway, let’s continue the discussion based on my answer where I listed some pros/cons that I see. I’m curious to see what you guys think and whether you think moving the KB flavor to xwiki-contrib is what we should do.
