Hi All,
Sorry to jump in after an already long discussion since we are getting close to 
a conclusion, so I just don’t want my intervention to cause more fuzz than good.
I am in accordance with most of what was said so far, but “Default” looks to me 
a less valuable naming than “Standard”, it is not a strong opinion, so I give 
my +1 to “Standard” and +0 to “Default”. I will use “Standard" in the 
following, just to be clearer, but you can substitute it with “Default” if you 
wish (you might notice further subtle differences, or not).
So, what I am not sure about now is why all proposals end with “XWiki flavor” 
(and this is not really about the American spelling of flavour ! :D). All 
flavours we gonna have surely will be XWiki ones, won’t it ? So if we start 
with the “Standard XWiki Flavor”, I am afraid we are going to lead a movement 
where everyone will name their flavour with that same suffix. Is that our 
intention ?
“XWiki Standard Flavor” would already carry a different meaning, since it would 
say more “Standard flavour made by the XWiki team”. However, if our intent was 
more to say this is a generic wiki flavour, using “Standard Wiki Flavor” looks 
more in line with our intended meaning. And if our meaning is more that this is 
just a generic flavour, ending with “Standard Flavor” is probably simpler, 
clearer and better.
WDYT ?

So here is the current situation

= Proposition which don't annoy people enough to get a veto

* "Default XWiki Flavor" (+3)
* "Standard XWiki Flavor" (+2)

= Someone gave a veto on those

* "Base XWiki Flavor"
* "Classic XWiki Flavor" (good success for this one until it hits Edy
and Vincent)
* "Raw XWiki Flavor"
* "Starter XWiki Flavor"
* "XWiki Flavor”
* "Generic XWiki Flavor"

Anyone want to change his votes ?

I don't really have a preference between "Default" and "Standard".
