That sounds great!

The stack can be complex and with lots of options - especially complex 
when using rabbitmq.

Do you plan on support different custom configuration and free choice of 
sqlite and postgresql ... and perhaps different choice of web server 
stack? I guess it depends on whether your scope is to demonstrate the 
application, to make a nice container for your setup, or provide a 
generic way to support several fine setups.

Can you say more about that? You want to attach/include screen-shots in 
the PRs and/or comments?

I'm currently playing around with patches that just recognize URLs to 
images and show them inline. (We have also disabled rst and do just use 
plain text so people get ASCII WYSIWYG and can focus on their message 
and be able to paste all kind of code snippets without interference from 
the templating language.)
