Working on #Acropolis packaging for YunoHost. This is Magic Stone's fork of diaspora* that will be managed via Collective Code Construction Contract just like Ecko.

I was reminded of the importance of making things easy to install by a recent podcast with Travis Oliphant of NumPy, SciPy and Anaconda who shared how a Windows installer helped many more people onboard to his projects.

#YunoHost is like the App Store for self-hosted web apps so pretty important for giving budding admins that next step from usage or a demo instance toward owning and administering a full instance. Sure, later they may want to install via docker or from source but first make it easy!
