I agree again with Florent, the setup and install process needs to be flawless and has been one of the big hiccups for people trying tg ( as I discovered when I taught it to my girlfriend and my subcontractor ). I'd be happy to help with that if there is something I can do Florent. I have multiple platforms at my disposal at home ( ubuntu, osx, windows ) and am interested in learning more about automated deployment. Just let me know how I could help maintain it.
