Lateral thinking on the ol' installation blues

Maybe one way to improve the install process for Scoop would be to try and get it into one of the bigger Linux distro - they're the installation experts you lot could concentrate on developing functionality.
Let me expound...

Scoop is a good, coherent weblog with a lot of potential uses both for general punters and potentially for commercial organisations with intranet and potentially internet discussion requirements.
If one of the big commercial distros could be persuaded to take Scoop under its wing as a core supported component then a lot of the installation malarkying could be done by them professional boys who (after all) spend their entire time doing it. (I'm thinking here of SuSE who do a web server in a box distro, and a Lotus Domino/Groupware Server. You could see a mini-distrette with Scoop as the discussion site and Sourceforge as the version management site-in-a-box, or a webserver distro with the choice of Scoop and Zope and blah-blah... SuSE already pushes Zope.)
This would also potentially produce more developers to collaborate on the software etc, etc, blah-blah...
If you could get into a decent distro then you would get the old distro diffusion effect where other distros pick it up as well...
You the reader, decide: good idea, ridiculous, been-there-done-that-got-the-cold-shoulder, delusions of grandeur... |
