I took a look at it, it's curious. At first blush it doesn't provide an elegant dsl as capistrano does. Your example doesn't imply that it runs in parallel on all boxes, and I didn't see any direct way that you handle roles.
I didn't really see a nice way to combine and isolate code in a built in way, like cap has with namespaces. And capistrano can be made to do anything, after all it's just a framework, https://github.com/donnoman/cap-recipes/tree/master/lib/cap_recipes/tasks I think there's a lot you could learn from capistrano and implement into your framework. Create a shorter name, wrap a dsl around it with callbacks, add some better documentation, and you've got something. However you should create your own Google group for it so that conversations regarding your framework can be carried on there. The capistrano group is the wrong place for it. Good luck, and thanks for releasing the code.
