Hiya all, Good to hear some thoughts on this. I've had similar thoughts to Emilien. I think I want good packaging and robust sysadmin tools to solve these pesky issues. Yet, I see where it probably won't solve everything, Mathias made good points on this.
However, Luis made a good point about documentation. I must admit I'm at fault for thinking of the documentation last. Hehe. I think there is a middle way that is open for improvement. For example, on the FHIR side, I haven't included a requirements.txt file so there can be a one-line python command to install all the dependencies. I could also include some Ansible, Supervisord, etc. example config files to help sysadmins. *And* update the documentation! Things like that.
