	39	+== Extensions ==
	40	+
	41	+Extensions are adds-on that can be installed inside a running XWiki using the [[Extension Manager>>extensions:Extension.Extension Manager Application]]. Applications are a type of Extensions but there are other types. For example, you could install the Markdown Syntax, LDAP integration or others.

	43	+== Flavors ==
	44	+
	45	+A Flavor is a set of Extensions working together to achieve a goal. When you first start XWiki, you can pick the Flavor you want your wiki to be, from a list of existing Flavors.
	46	+
	47	+Examples of potential Flavors (only some of them exist at this point):
	48	+* Knowledge Base
	49	+* Web Site
	50	+* Collaborative Intranet
	51	+* Demo
	52	+
	53	+Technically a Flavor is also an Extension with dependencies on other Extensions.
