I would like to describe it a bit more precisely:
(1) ONE thiong is a "rehaul" of the general Midgard docs (-> deatailed
documentation with reference, like a "handbook".
(2) ANOTHER thing is a simple but still complete and up-to-date (->
1.4.2.1) documentation of the FIRST steps into Midgard, the main install
problems which may occur in various distributions (mainly those that are
NOT used by the developers, like SUSE ...), any workaround plus a simple
setup for a first Midgard site "from the scratch".
(2) ist the one which would help MOST people asking questions here; it
would decrease the amount help requests in this list significantly, I
assume. THIS is what Lucia and I and some other are asking for! Please,
let's look at this thing a bit more from the "user" instead of the
"developer" side.
P.S. I installed midgard 1.4.1 successfully on SUSE 7.1 a few months
ago. It took me approx. 6 weeks, numerous IRC sessions with Daniel,
Torben and others, a complete rebuild of apache and also some updates
from the CVS tree (the tar.gz did not work). Returning to 1.4.2 last
week, I tried to install this on SUSE 7.2 as we need to do the same
install in our company soon. I didn't work, although it was said that
numerous install fixes were made.
Can't you imagine that this is VERY frustrating for the ordinary user?
And that this is NOT what people expect from "professional-grade" Open
Source software?
