Export current configuration via GUI(to make it easy to create some)

• Settings
• Groups but not users
• Permissions
• Default home page
• Default settings for new forums, image galleries, etc

What about?

• Custom menus (ML: very good idea because some profiles (ex.: corporate site, events) have consistent base menu
• Forums, etc. pre-created
• Help data (like in wiki page)
• Tracker definitions and some wiki pages to use
• Galaxia Workflows?

More ideas

• dthacker was suggesting a "Profile Snapshot tool"
• Maybe use TikiTests as a Wizard to setup features? (and have built-in test!)
• Reset to defaults (ex: after upgrade). So everything should be in lib/pref (vs sql)
• Content of default home page.
  • split plugin and modules in a wiki page
  • directly tiki articles as home page
  • etc

• Potential issues
