I would have exactly that problem if I released code to any of my sites (not that they're worth looking at :) ), and for much the same reason.

You build stuff because you have to when it hits, especially if you experience 'unexpected growth', and things like installation documentation and so on will suffer, if they exist at all.

So releasing a working VM is a great way to do this, it's about as user-friendly as you can get.

I think you'll be setting an example here that will be followed many times.
