What is your Bitnami wish list?

Question

Two weeks in using Bitnami. Very impressed and satisfied so far. Have set up two development servers that are now running exactly as I wished. The Bitnami component of the elapsed time took about an hour to get fully fleshed LAMP servers with all the apps I wanted. The Fred component -- making application mistakes, debugging them, fixing, deleting, restoring -- took the remainder of the two weeks.

My Bitnami wish list as of today:

dashboard: add new apps to existing servers
dashboard: rename of backups. "Restored-from-backup-20110915.bitnamiapp.com" is pretty cumbersome.
dashboard: run ctlscript.sh from dashboard. why not? would save a lot of time on stop/restarts.
realtime support - chat or IRC (#commented b/c I realize this is a business issue depending on $ and resources)
higher "N" of users -- this forum needs more activity to be reliable as a trouble-shooting tool'
a different editor for Answers - the way this thing does list bullets is stupid! ;-) try it.

What are other ideas?

Answer 1

Sample output of new apps via dashboard/script: (assuming plain lampstack installed)

$ ./ctlscript.sh install joomla  
Checking config ... done  
Downloading from https://download.bitnami.com/apps/joomla-latest.tar.gz  
.................done  
Extracting to $DOCUMENT_ROOT (/home/user1/lampstack/apache2/htdocs/joomla)...done.  
Creating default database 'joomladb' for user 'root'/'admin'...done.  
All set ... redirecting browser to install page...  
Congratulations ... joomla is installed!  
$

That is just a suggestion, us programmers being lazy people :)
