Yes go for the installer - important to get new users no question about it. And I follow about licencing problem (sometimes I think FOSS licensing is also too confusing for mortals). But - at least pick one and include instructions on how to install it. It doesn't have to be the best or have anything special about - just something to get started with. Sometimes what matters is having something definite to get going and then you can make changes later. mikej
