Does SF provide FTP access, at least to get to the webspace? (I'm guessing it pretty much _has_ to.) If so then automating things isn't really a big deal.

Instead of having 4 different downloads, for both the UI and Service versions of the Manager and Executors, to provide one interface to handle all of that functionality. I have some ideas... I'll pull together a proposed screenshot and run it past the list. -Streamlining the installation process > --Could this potentially be solved by moving to WiX instead of vdproj?

We kind of have this in the documentation, but it really should be pulled out into its own document. For that matter, I'll second that the documentation needs to be reworked. I think it would also be good to start collecting some "Alchemi developer tips and tricks" to explain some best practices when coding distributed applications that use Alchemi. Like... "GThread programming for the single-threaded programmer", or "How to unroll your For loops". Not those names, but the idea of introducing concepts and best practices for new and seasoned Alchemi programmers.

Need to support web services, security? Get stuff done quickly with pre-integrated technology to make your job easier.
