Just thinking loud: - what is the best way to promote your product: global mass acceptance and use, right? - how to reach this: ease of installation and use. Personally I don't really like to play with OS things, packages, patching, ... (yes, I'm lazy!) >From an enduser point of view, I really only want to use it directly. I'm not sure whether it now takes a lot of configuration, but I'm a bit afraid of it, given our relatively small Linux knowledge. Take for example integration with Active Directory. I would not know where to start, except for browsing through a lot of fora.
Suppose you could package the most important features into a .vmdk file, where configuration of the MoinMoin engine is reduced to providing it with an IP address, wouldn't that be great? A single page configuration manual, with no hassle on Python, Apache,... as they come pre-configured. We could then spend all our time on enabling the user experience (hence my earlier question on implementation strategy). How do you start such a project without it becoming an absolute mess... That would be great and valuable discussions! Regarding Debian, we mainly use a licensed RedHat Enterprise license, but as we would like to use it as a virtual appliance, hiding the OS from us, it can be anything... best regards, Dirk 2009/3/26 Thomas Waldmann <t...@waldmann-edv.de> > Hi Dirk, > > > At work, I wanted to install it properly, but we mainly have Windows > > knowledge.
