As a administrator, I want to deploy a gn install out of the box with some described use cases and not search for documentation on the web across different resources. As an administrator I would like to be informed about new releases (e.g. PIWIK admin sees at the top right that a new version is there.)

Out Of the box experience:

Requirements

Simpler installer
Fix central location for docs and installation so that it correctly links to all the resources

Documentation

Requirements

Documentation template
Central location for docs

Patches

Requirements

Admin UI to run upgrade script
Upgrade script downloads new version, stops server, deploys new version, restarts server.
Problems:
Can't access restart because tomcat user doesn't typically have the access to do this
Better would be hot deploy of patch
Problems with hot deploy:
Static fields
Need research
