*Regarded Contributers* I throw in another idea. As provisioning of Odoo is a *big* hassle for linux occationalists, some many lot of people might be prevented from catching in to walk the hermeneutic cycles until reaching some level of proficiency and grow into a valuable contributor.
I don't mean the server side contributors, who really know about that stuff, I mean the proper product side of the coin, the one that helps businesses doing things better. I think server questions should be abstracted in a way in order to not to lose contributer base due to early frustration. I think also, there should be a converging set of pest practices shared and reviewed by the community to help safe everyones time (and nerves!) I would suggest some combination of vagrant (for abstracting the creation of VMs) quite nicely and ansible plabooks. Ansible is just so human readable. (that's cool if the goal would be, that others understand it) I think some commented code could even replace an entire documentation about installing, blending human- and machine readble docs into one single maintainded playbook. I think a real value could evolve if the community would converge towards a single master-playbook as the modus of sharing knowledge about provisioning in its various variants. Together with vagrant or generally VMs / VEs the environment could be entirely controlled, so my educated guess is that less peolpe around the wolrd would get frustrated at very unnecessary stages in their contributers life cycle. Another thing, which is true for ansible. If there are no docs, just human-readable playbooks, it would be an ideal entrypoint for every experimenter to familiarazie with sourcecode layer of community work, which imho is always a good thing, either to start contributing or to stop asking questions that don't respect the 24h/d-constraint of some knowledgable ones... I hope, I've provoked your two cents, please. I'm the kind of person who wasn't quite able to solve my own problem, but still I tried: https://github.com/odoo-colombia/Odoo-VagrantUp More cool work done on this: https://github.com/tinyerp/odoo-docker - these dockers are so fabolously instant coffee and very polite to your system resources... *Freundliche Grüsse* ---------------------- *David Arnold B.A. HSG* *Gerente* +57 315 304 1368 da...@elaleman.co www.elaleman.co El Alemán S.A.S, Carrera 13 # 93 - 40 P4, Bogotá D.C, Colombia
