Hi All, The complexity of OpenChange setup and deployment has always been a constraint on the growth of deployment and community in general. I am therefore enthusiastic with any approaches trying to address this situation and improve the user experience in general.
The only thing we need to ensure is that "ease of deployment" does not lead to "unexpected corner cases". I agree with the suggestion Jesus made to remove OpenChange defaults, to not make any assumption on user choices and only run the endpoint if initial requirements for openchange to operate are met. Cheers, Julien.
