Hi Chris,

It's not so much git than db versions (and laziness and ignorance). I
always seem to get an old version that doesn't update correctly. But
sometimes not, usually the error message is too obscure for me to tell
straight away. Since I'm mostly interested in front-end stuff, I
prefer starting from a blank slate over fixing things.

So if I could suggest one thing, it would be to make it clearer in
error messages when the db version is not in accordance with the code
used.

And while I'm at it, can I ask about our project of hosting instances
ourselves? Since I've started using that script for creating multiple
instances on my server, I was wondering what we were at on that front.

Cheers,
Max.
