Thanks again for these, browsing through them has answered a few of my
questions about configuration, I'll look deeper next week.

So I gave this a spin, and I think the instructions are missing some
key points, ie following http://zanata.org/download/ it says:

"Create a database schema for Zanata. NOTE: Ensure that the default
collation is UTF-8."

I have no idea what schema to use, so I went here for some ideas:
https://github.com/zanata/zanata-server/wiki/Installation-Guide

Note that $ZANATA_DB_PASS isn't exported along with others, so that
may be worth mentioning in case someone is following the database
setup blindly ;)

Once I ran the database commands properly, I was still puzzled by
"database schema" prompt during install.sh

elizabeth at zanata-demo:~/zanata-server/bin/zanata-installer$ ./install.sh
Please select the Zanata version you wish to install:
[1] 3.3.2
1
Database Host:
localhost
Database port:
3306
Database schema:
zanata ...I know this is wrong, what does it want here?
Database Username:
zanata
Database Password:
not-my-real-password

Ultimately, this doesn't work (because of database schema is wrong?).
I tried launching jboss manually anyway to see if errors could help me
out, and there are definitely zanata mysql errors but it's too much
for me to intelligently debug and localhost:8080/zanata doesn't exist,
as expected.

I have mysql-server libmysql-java openjdk-7-jdk packages installed on
Ubuntu 14.04 so going by listed dependencies, it doesn't look like
that's an issue.

Is this due to the server zip not being updated with each version of
Zanata, or because it's using JBoss AS rather than EAP? I guess my
question is, will we run into the security issue if we insist upon
using AS rather than EAP due to our licensing concerns?

Looks like I can do Monday-Wednesday at 23:00 UTC (your Tuesday-Thursday at 9AM)

http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?iso=20140609T23

I can also do an hour or two later Monday or Tuesday.

Happy to chat about any of the above issues I ran into then, so no rush.
