    64  * Create an automated build script for the above manual steps to create an installer that takes a branch of Sahana Eden the source together with the dependencies (Python + needed Libraries). I would recommend creating a build script based on Autohotkey or similar as this is quite portable in itself and can be made into an self-contained executable.
    65 
    6646 * Right now the installer launches other installers for Python and it's libraries in turn. It would be easier for the installer to process this in one go. Again an easily maintainable approach would be better as the versions of Python and these libraries increment with the versions of Eden.
    67 
    68  * Provide a dialog to capture and setup the admin password on installation
    6947
    7048 * Feel free to add other areas that can improve the overall experience of the installer for the user

    7351== Other ToDo Items on the installer ==
    7452
    75  * Provide a startup script which passes the password, so no need for the TK GUI
    76   * Is there an easy call to launch the default browser from a script?
    77    * Can be 'eden' then, which is good for consistency
    7853 * Is it better to have a larger download & include the pre-populated database with migrate=False? (& pre-populate=False)
    7954 * Is it better to have a larger download & include the compiled app?
