[RFO] Rename default publication to example publication or something
else?
Hi Lenya devs,
IMO the description "default publication" isn't appropriate anymore,
because it's really just a demo of some of the modules with a particular
layout. In 1.2 it was different because we had no modules and a lot of
the functionality was located in the publication.
I could imagine that demo visitors would find it less misleading if it
was called "example publication". WDYT?

you might remember we had this ;-) but the problem is the maintenance

there's certainly no harm in that. the only problem i see is that people
tend to do inelegant, hackish things in real-life deployments that might
not be good examples and could become a legacy eventually...
in any case we should clean up the example publication (no more tables
etc. - or is that already done?), and expose more features.
would you guys be ok with a very rudimentary "basic" publication that
contains only the bare minimum of lenya features with only the fully
modularized, best-practice features (which currently excludes bxe and
kupu), and base the example publication on that (adding bxe/kupu hacks
locally)?

Another option would be that more users make their publications
available as open source. AFAIK the UniCMS and Unipublic publications
used to be very popular to get started with Lenya.

Maybe someday it would be nice to have more than one example
publication, each demonstrating a different sort of site.

i've always felt that "default" was kinda wrong, because people should
generally not use it as a template imho, because it contains too many
assumptions. "example" sounds good.
privately, i'm using a stripped down "basic" publication which i use as
a template - i'm going to commit it to the sandbox after some polishing,
maybe others find it useful.
