Thanks. I’ve also raised a few questions on 
http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-14018

I think it would make more sense on xwiki-contrib since we’d want to possibly 
release it more often than the core (add new content or fix/modify existing 
content) and I don’t consider it core.

Help Center is fine with me. I’m also fine with both.

1) What are those 4 gifs doing? Do they require maintenance? Can we reduce 
their size?
2) For XE functional tests that’s ok since we would bundle the Help Center app 
by default so only the functional tests for the help center itself would incur 
the extra size (but I don’t see it as a big issue).
