What do you mean by 'Mob'? The general semantic association with 'mob'
is misleading or if intended not fair in this context.
I like the idea of having a one file installation process as well.
Anyhow the installation process for a user at the moment basically
means just to copy a subdirectory on Windows and Mac with 4 files in
it (sometimes with minor glitches).

Dan Ingalls created this 'super-topic' on August 15th. So he
should decide on this. From my part I would suggest
to wait until a first release of [Modules] is underway.

The issue you bring up is based upon but different to the modules issue.
It is about the delivery/deployment process. [Deployment] could be a
good tag for this.
