That's our plan. And we also believe that using an industry-proven software, 
with formed community and documentation will make it simpler for contributors 
and new developers.

That sounds great. I'll try to hack an ansible + vagrant/docker script to give 
it a shot.

Thanks! Are you going to use GitHub? If so I can probably bother you there with 
issues and maybe PR's :)

All the best,
Bruno
