<div style="direction: ltr;font-family: Tahoma;color: #000000;font-size: 10pt;">Hi,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>For the standalone distribution I think a preconfigured Tomcat setup would be good to see, maybe include a setup script that can set the JAVA_OPTS dynamically or something along those lines. </div>
<div>So people could unzip the folder, perhaps run the setup script and start the application without the need of configuring anything else themselves. So people could quickstart into Midpoint.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>A virtual machine would be good to see as well to get access to the external resources (LDAP/DB) and test some more, but I think the live demo suffices for that.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am an intern delivering a PoC for a company that specialises in IAM solutions, so I would only be able to recommend and not actually decide on supporting Midpoint. </div>
<div>As for myself, if I find the time I could help you documenting a bit.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>For a sample scenario I think what I described earlier would be a good start (CSV -> Midpoint -> LDAP/Database and include perhaps some roles/workflows/organizations)</div>
<div>So in general it would be piecing the documentation together in a guide on how to configure a basic setup.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Kind regards,</div>
<div>Remi</div>

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.<br>

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?<br>

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