Sa me here. Wasn't aware of this. At least not three years ago ,when we 
started working on the playbook that is on Github. Thre are certainly 
ideas to pick there!

Yep!

We use the playbook for production at RENATER. Around 40 virtual hosts, 
350 000 users.

It works pretty well for now.

But the original idea was to ease the installation of a Sympa on a local 
VM for testing and development. that's why we also developed the webmail 
playbook (https://github.com/sympa-community/ansible-webmail-server) 
that is used to send/receive mails from and to the local Sympa VM.

I concur. I'll work on the playbook in March, probably. I'd like to 
correctly decorrelate the software installation/update from the virtual 
hosts deployments.

any contribution is certainly welcome. There is much to be done. I know 
that Racke has been working on it a lot. He is certainly the person of 
reference regarding this project in the Sympa community.

Best regards!

David
