Thanks a lot for your feedback. You are confirming what I've been 
suspecting for some time. We are slowly working on the improvement but 
currently we are focused quite a lot on bringing the features requested 
by midPoint users and our capacity is still quite limited. However I 
will be very thankfull if you can provide some samples or even be 
willing to participate in improving the documentation if you decide to 
go with midPoint. I can grant you write access to wiki and provide any 
assistance you need.

Do you have any ideas how that should look like? What would you prefer? 
Completely pre-configured virtual machine image with operating system 
and all? Or something else?

Good catch. I've fixed that right away. These things always gets 
forgotten ;-)
