Sorry to send this message without the threading references; I just subscribed to the devs@xwiki.org mailing-list and I would like to contribute my €0.02 to the discussion The items below are numbered for commenting convenience but are not ordered in any way. 1. The name XWiki already has its first letter at the end of the alphabet. Marketing-wise in the Software ecosystem, lists of apps are most often alphabetically sorted, granting a bonus to apps with a name in A, B or C, and a minus to the end of the alphabet. So all names there have to counterbalance that handicap and I think "self-descriptiveness" does matter. 2. if you except "XWiki Flavor", the word "XWiki" comes in second position in all proposals, and that is not the best thing ever. 3. the name must be chosen wrt the targeted audience and the product's position on the market. I think Olivier has a point when he writes « what is the audience and the objectives ? » 4. more specifically about the proposals above: 4.1. a "flavor" holds the notion of specialization. 4.2. "Classic" can mean "legacy" in the Software world. Use carefully... 4.3. "Vanilla" is a geeky choice. Nobody else but geeks will get it,sorry. IMHO, "XWiki Foundation", "XWiki Core" or "XWiki Starter Kit" represent quite well what this is all about. </Daniel>
