Re: [xwiki-users] Off-topic: Xwiki and VMs

Hi everyone, First of all, I agree with Ludovic and Vincent, a new VM should be created every time a new version is out. It obviously is a lot of data that needs to be stored but the problem with not having an up to date VM is that people who just want to check out XWiki in a ready to go and possibly production ready environment most likely do not want to bother with setting up the VM and immediately having to upgrade the XWiki instance before they can try the latest version. Anyway, either I did not make myself clear or you missed the notion that I am not really a huge fan of VMs. On the one hand it can be hard to integrate pre-built VMs with a companies IT systems, on the other hand, AFAIK, there is no really free VM software that can be used in corporations.

What I had in mind was a package that will provide everything necessary to easily create a ready-for-production-use environment including an easy to use configuration wizard. I further thought about upgrade packages and restructuring the XE documents to ease upgrading. Also, I am neither very familiar with VMs nor Linux, so I am probably really not the best person for doing this kind of a job.
