I bet so. I'm...

I bet so. I'm not a Mac noob by any stretch but the first time I saw the install directions for Tracks I almost immediately lost interest. So, saying that, I'm sure that people who are less savvy would be interested in a double-click install.

I'm thinking just a locomotive automator action or applescript.

or!

an honest-to-god installer that puts a real live tracks on the target system.

what are people's thoughts on that?

i personally think making a generic package that installs the goods, uses sqllite and applescript would be the best route, running via webbrick.

any thoughts?

i may check this into an SVN repo soon and we can hack around on it.

i've actually been brought into a conversation with bsag et al because she already started on something similar and its being tested now.

when there is more information i'm sure it will be there -- i've offered to write any documentation for the bundle.

hers is based entirely on a prefab db and Locomotive.
