As a completely new ARIS user, it's wonderful to be able to experience ARIS easily using a JNLP Java Web Start.
Major Congratulations.
The out of the box experience is exceptional, and it generates a lot of excitement to be able to get the ARIS experience simply by download.
As far as the launch package, I would recommend a lot more practical examples to play with as well as some tutorial content, and some things to play with.
The tutorial should emphasize the power of the ARIS environment, and should start from an empty screen and build towards some of the more exciting and powerful features of the product for the target user, who presumably doesnt know much about ARIS and wants to get started quickly modelling processes.
Lots of generic process frameworks can also help people get started on a given process...
Thanks,

Hi Miko,
we are working on such tutorials. As you suggest, they will start from blank screen to full blown models. It is also true that we need more example models. Here, we hope that the community will support us and share such models with everyone. Stay tuned and watch the community to see how sharing will be possible!
Cheers,
Sebastian
Hi Miko,
thank you for the positive feedback on Java Web Start! It was a decision we didn't make lightly, but now that I can see the results, I'm sure it was the right decision. It's a very powerful framework for delivering software to end-users and you don't have to worry about details, most works as expected out of the box.
Regards,
Markus
