I have to agree strongly here. When I first looked at the project, the
robust number of connectors clearly documented there was a "okay,
these folks have something going on here" moment.
What would be worthwhile for someone (not me :) ) is to develop a sort
of installation application that basically follows the production
setup guide to build configurations [demo, demo with external db,
production] with radio buttons, check boxes, suggested values, etc...
in order to get people up to speed and if nothing but a checklist
during a transition.
Very good idea! We could do an IzPack (www.izforge.com/*izpack*/ )
installer for OfBiz, like this is done for Geronimo.
One good thing would be that we can use it in silent mode to install
OfBiz on several servers. Also and IMHO IzPack is really easy to use.
Let's find the human resources to do it :-)
There probably is a Jira issue on this, but I'd rather use any karma
points towards that instead of removing one of the first point of
contacts with the "internals" of ofBiz.
