The concept of "deployment"
After installing Askbot with (1) pip, (2) easy_install, or (3) untarring and running setup.py, you're supposed to run startforum (which resides in the same bin directory where the python executable is).
startforum is called a deployment script.
- What exactly does it do?
- Why is it needed? Why can't we just unzip Askbot in a directory and run it?
