Hi Marcel,

Hello Dion,

when upgrading BlueConic from Amdatu 0.1.1 to version in the trunk, it proved 
to be difficult to make the correct selection of bundles and configuration 
files from the core and subprojects.

Why? Are our descriptions of what the individual bundles do not clear enough? 
Tell us what we should improve.

The descriptions are rather short, but more importantly, it's hard to figure 
out which pieces of the puzzle are missing when services won't start. This is 
even more difficult if an Amdatu bundle contains a bug or isn't tenant aware if 
it should be.
Maybe it's a good exercise for the members of the Amdatu development team to 
try and get a specific configuration started from scratch?

I would like to suggest that documentation or a build target is added for 
building a release containing the required bundles from the core and 
subprojects to deliver a OpenSocial dashboard based on Cassandra as was 
available in the 0.1.0 release (and maybe some other configurations).
This working reference stack would also help to determine if a bug is caused by 
Amdatu or by software depending on it and help new Amdatu users get started 
more quickly.

Work is being done to come up with a "demo" that contains all Amdatu 
components: http://jira.amdatu.org/jira/browse/AMDATU-427

I know, I sent this mail last week before Bram's demo proposal, but it was 
"stuck" on the server. :)

The problem with build targets for these things is that we can come up with 
many different variations of our stack, and trying to make targets for all of 
them simply won't scale. Our best bet is if we can properly explain what the 
individual components do, so you can decide for yourself what combination you 
want to use. There is no "reference stack" :)

I understand.

Also, for Amdatu developers a working reference stack is required to test 
deployment of bundles.

The demo should get them started.

Agreed

Greetings, Marcel

Regards, Dion
