[Koha-devel] koha 3.0 installer toughts and suggestions

[Paul POULAIN]

Hi,

I was wondering last week why ppl think Koha is so complex to set up 
working.
I think I have found at least one good reason :
the installer mixes technical (computer geek) questions and functionnal 
(librarian) questions.
It ask for : mysql password, koha directory, apache user name... 
questions that a librarian often can't answer.
Then, it ask for "MARC flavour", "authority framework", ... questions 
that a computer guy can't answer either.

So, I think that for koha 3.0, we should completly separate both.
The functionnal install (marc flavour...) being done in a webbased 
interface, once koha has been set up by the sysadmin.

just my 2cts on this topic
