[OOTB-distro] Addons for the distribution

[Martin Cosgrave]

That's an interesting thought. We were going to provide an instance to 
spin up for people to test out ideas, it would be a good place for the 
'learning' addons. In actual fact we will probably need to support 
various versions of this instance, i.e. instances for 4.2.c, 4.2.f, 
5.0.b, whatever.

I think the main distribution will be separate from that, it should be 
something that a business can run and get going without having to get 
rid of additional cruft they don't want.

As to the "honeycomb" name, it was originally supposed to be the name of 
the list of addons, but it was generally thought that it was better to 
describe the name of the distribution. I daresay that argument isn't 
over, or at least could be revived, if a sufficiently 'sexy' name came 
forward to challenge 'honeycomb'.

Also I'm not sure if I took you up right in your last point, but the 
distro is not intended to host all the addons that are being curated by 
the addons committee. It is intended to be a basic distribution suitable 
for smaller businesses to run. Personally I think we will probably see a 
few different versions of 'distro' over time, catering to different 
verticalities, I think your 'learning' distro would be an example of that.
