[midPoint] Some feedback that might be of use

[Radovan Semancik]

Hi Remy,

Pre-packaged midPoint with tomcat is a good idea. We probably will not 
have time for that before 2.2 release, so I've scheduled that after the 
release (https://jira.evolveum.com/browse/MID-1387).

Please let me know when you will find some time for the documentation. 
Once you register at 
https://jira.evolveum.com/secure/Signup!default.jspa I can assign you 
the write permissions.
