Re: [Fofredux-devel] Install script

[Broken K. <kha...@gm...>]

Part of the reason why WordPress is as popular as it is due to the ease 
of installation. I'm not saying that FOFR isn't easy to install but 
anything that makes it clear cut to the user how to work things through 
is a very good thing. In my eyes as the least code minded person around 
here I do think that having someone create a database, upload the files 
and that's all the editing they've got to do is a great boost in the 
usability of the software as it eliminates fears for first time users etc.

Keeping things simple should be on the top of our agenda.
