I found an issue with the script #66 so we may want to hold off on merging to 1.1 until it gets fixed.

This will need documented in the libbeat Getting Started guide where it shows how to load the dashboards on unix.

Also the projects README should be updated to show instructions for Windows.

@andrewkroh I'm updating the doc to tell users how to download and run the script. Will there be a downloadable zip file somewhere equivalent to what we provide here for other platforms: http://download.elastic.co/beats/dashboards/beats-dashboards-1.1.0.tar.gz

A tar.gz isn't very Windows friendly so maybe we should only package the dashboards as a zip file.

@monicasarbu @tsg Any issues with me changing the release script to build a zip instead of tar.gz?

@andrewkroh Good point, Andrew. Indeed it is strange to offer tar.gz for Windows. I totally agree that we should provide a zip archive.

Windows can handle .tar.gz by default now no? I had no problem with Windows 8 in a VM with them

@monicasarbu @andrewkroh Is there a final resolution on this? If we change the script to build a zip, do we plan to do it before 1.1 ships?

Just noting that the script has been updated to be a zip through this PR: https://github.com/elastic/beats-dashboards/pull/70
