This isn’t really the process we want to make easier; I was referring to our hosting signups. And the post-install “getting your discussion site set up” stuff.
The self install part is pretty easy as it is.. the email is what trips a lot of people up. And that would be crazy hard to automate, unless we start running a mail server, which brings me to our hosting..
Point being you can only make this so easy without directly controlling all the bits involved.
