In my other post, I blathered about no using the Sun-supplied components. It's a heck of a lot easier for me to unpack/configure/build/install and make work for source than it is to use what's on the disk. But this is what would help: Actually installing a component is trivial. That's the easy part. It's integrating a number of components together into a working complex system to supply a service that's hard. So I might want to set up an svn server (using apache); or get a wiki running; or set up a bugzilla instance. It's those solutions that are important. Forget the individual components, having a trivial way to get such complex integrated systems running is where you could really make a difference. And I don't means HOWTOs or docs or blog entries, but (shudder) wizards that install and configure everything for you. -- -Peter Tribble http://www.petertribble.co.uk/ - http://ptribble.blogspot.com/
