Generally the installation is different depending on whether the user is
running their own server (which is rare) or if they are using shared =
hosting
(which is quite common).

The first thing they have to do is create a MS SQL Server database.  =
Then
they have to set the connection string to it and customize the settings =
in
the 2 .config files.  After that, they just upload the code, setup an =
IIS
application folder and go to the site.  It runs all the update scripts =
to
populate the database and then they have a working portal.

The parts of this process that need automation are creating the =
database,
and modifying the .config files.  If the user can't upload the code
themselves, they probably shouldn't be using the portal at this point =
due to
other issues.  Later on we need to build in the rest of the process so =
that
it will all just work.  Meanwhile, the .next team will be starting from
scratch on version 2 and code has been frozen for the version 1 release
(except for bug fixes).

Did I cover most of it, guys?  This is my understanding as to what is =
going
on currently.  Module development is still in progress, but since the =
core
will dramatically change for the next version, anything done now is =
going to
need porting to the new framework.
