Hi, I would like to see a single download on the XWiki Download page: XWiki.
This distribution should be a minimal distribution (in various formats: war/jetty+hsqldb/deb/etc.) that has the minimal stuff required for EM+DW to function, to launch the Flavor selection screen and to install a Flavor. Installing the Standard/Default/KB flavor will install, as dependency, the Base Flavor and everything will be brought in with EM. This is what I remember to be the original plan for the Flavors effort and I`m still +1 for it.
