Great work so far.

If I'm going to do the setup in prod I would like some more info about
the setup procedure (or a recipe like Petter menitoned).

I see at least the fixmystreet install script needs some arguments. Do
you remember which arguments you used so we can keep some consistency
between dev and prod?

Except server_name, which settings are do we have to change exactly? Is
the server name bucket you mention called server_names_hash_bucket_size
in the config?

Although I have to match it against our current config, some more
specific pointer to what was done here would be nice.

Was this done because this is a dev system? I assume we would disable it
on prod while doing the data import and then re-enable it when it's
done, is this correct?

Was there any issues during the import I should be aware of?

How is this done? Are there some sort of script or other tool to do this
automatically?

Which tables are modified, and how? I think the sql statements used
during this step would help me a lot.
