Hi Johannes, everyone, actually this is sort of repsonse to Johannes @jstoldt contribution here http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/Back-to-the-future-of-XWiki-tt6084764.html regarding VM's and it is off-topic in either dev and user.
Johannes, why not drill deeper into this VM stuff ? If you have spare time leftover and want to contribute - why not be the first one to create an Amazon EC2 xwiki image ? For newbies there are free Amazon EC2 accounts: http://aws.amazon.com/de/free/ When creating a VM I'd check for an Ubuntu Ready-to-go image - there are several hanging around. Check the Ubuntu website for a recommendation. Of course Linux background is beneficial - might be mandatory. However with Ubuntu many installations are pretty straight forward and well documented - installation of database (postgres ?) - webserver (tomcat ?) and an XWiki .war should be straightforward. When you're are done and all is running fine you can make a template of it for others to use. I'd be interested in a report. I'd love to do it but I'm lacking time now ... As here is no real forum for this we might continue correspondence in another place. WDYT ?
