VM page

[jburel]

Read VM page. Maybe ask a biologist to read it.

Points raised:

• For the introduction all a scientist needed to know was - Effectively this means that OME can distribute a canned, ready-to-run environment containing an OMERO.server, thus freeing you from having to install OMERO.server yourself. A clear introduction with the purpose and value the VM has in the introduction. The additional technical information can make the task feel more terrifying than it actually is.
• The use of both mac and Windows screenshots.
• Ensuring the a definition is made before the abbreviated term is used - a list of key terms has been proposed.
• The screenshot with the .ovf extension led to some confusion as this did not reflect the .OVA extension used in the text.
• It is fundamental to have a simplified concept of the virtual machine so that scientists can easily pick up the concept to work with.
• The extension of the documentation for the 3 points at the end, this was already ticketed.
  • Using OMERO.clients from within your host OS - for a scientist this is the key one to show for a complete workflow.
  • Interacting directly with the server command line interface using SSH into the guest VM
  • Interacting directly with the server CLI by logging into the VM directly
