Hi Jack

Last time I played on ODA's it was V1, and I happen to have someone from
PM/PD in the building, so had a direct line for answers...

It's now X5 and virtualised and there seem to be very little information
about what/how to do things once the ODA_BASE is done, even more so when
looking at a guest VM based on Windows.

Would def have made our life easier if there was a channel on edelivery
specifically for the ODA, with build OS images you could download and
import, to then install your software into, other than just whats there
under vmtemplates atm.

Always say, make the user/client life easy and it promotes adoption and
success which leads to a great platform.
