Thanks for your feedback, this kind in particular is very helpful and valuable. We have a video explanation and walk-through of shipbuilder in the works which should help communicate more clearly about what ShipBuilder is and what it can do for you. I have a few additional questions if you wouldn't mind helping me improve this aspect of Shipbuilder: 1. Have you used Heroku before? 2. Are you confused about the purpose of ShipBuilder? (i.e. "what does Shipbuilder do?") 3. Are you confused about how to setup the ShipBuilder server/nodes/load-balancer? 4. Are you confused about how the client works? Finally, please feel free to contact me personally; I'd love the opportunity to answer questions or help you (or anyone) get started with ShipBuilder. contact info: #shipbuilder on irc.freenode.net or jay [at) jaytaylor do.t com

Look at how easy heroku makes your first few steps[1]. I'd advise doing something similar but with, for example, instructions for setting up a quick shipbuilder server on amazon ec2 or the like. Bonus: it will show you where the pain points are for shipbuilder at the moment, because you'll have to write too many small gotchas&workarounds into the tutorial!

  Thanks for pointing this out minikomi, I will have to put together an EC2 quickstart guide. I am thinking of a more succinct form of what is currently the server install documentation [1].

I think the main question that would help me would be "Why do I need Shipbuilder?" with different examples of when I would need it, how it compares to other tools, what it was designed to accomplish, all the system and network dependencies, and a breakdown of each individual component and how it works with other components. Mainly I want to be able to have an image in my head of how it fits into my network/system, what it might replace, or how I can take advantage of it.
