Florian,
My approach is first to examine the binary release - install it and try to run things - in
particular the samples. Samples not working "out of the box" always concerns me since this will
usually form the experience of someone new to Tuscany and if it does not work cleanly and as
advertised that is a poor "shop front" for the project. There are also cleanliness things like the
legal stuff to check over (eg licenses).
After probing the binary release, I move on to the source release and try building that from scratch
with an empty repo. Given my OASIS background, I am also hot on ensuring that the build passes the
conformance tests...
Yours, Mike.
