| 43 | ==== Flavors ==== | ||
| 44 | |||
| 45 | We switched from the old "XWiki Enterprise" package and we now provide the "[[XWiki Standard>>extensions:Extension.XWiki Standard Flavor]]" flavor. When creating a new wiki, Administrators can choose which flavor they want. | ||
| 46 | |||
| 47 | In XWiki, a [[flavor>>platform:Features.Applications||queryString="#HFlavors"]] is simply a bundle of extensions that serve a particular usage. We expect in the future that the community members will provide additional flavors built on top of XWiki. Imagine a flavor for application development, one for documentation, one for procedures or even a flavor created especially for your team. Using flavors you can customize your XWiki to the smallest details. | ||
