I guess so. The language on the XWiki website distinguishes "XWiki Platform"
from "XWiki Enterprise". I want to be able to write applications consisting of
Groovy and Velocity scripts that make use of the XWiki UI components, context
and its authentication and authorization features, and I don't necessarily want
a wiki, blog, etc.

Perfect, I think that's what I'm after. Thanks.

A base ("Platform"?) makes sense, but I'm not sure there's a logical need for
specific flavours. Is there a great advantage over Platform + extensions? I can
see the merit of supporting "packs" of interdependent or related extensions,
but supporting multiple flavours sounds like a maintenance headache. But I'm
seeing things through my own narrow view so maybe there's a better case for
this from the more common usage patterns.
Thanks,
Bryn
