For the past year, I've been curious about how to make my Emacs environment available to me and anyone else, easily. Goal is to make working on a Linux, Windows, or OSX GUI a one-click setup. For me, Vagrant is the obvious solution here. Vagrant and Packer, specifically. The benefit of using Packer to build a Vagrant image is that the user doesn't have to wait for the download and installation of big stuff like TeXLive. That get's me curious if we (all Emacs/Org users) might want to build a base-image that includes all the stuff out there. Might make it easy for users to try out lots of different configs without having to deal with all of the software requirements. While that isn't a "big deal", it is just easier for them so they can focus on doing stuff with Org.
