I think a move to github would be a fine idea.
As for the SystemConfigurator functionality, I'd like to use
theSystemImager post-script functionality.
It will allow us to
- include simple scripts upstream, that could be used as-is for simple and
common cases
- these simple scripts could be easily customized by site admins, without
having to know SystemImager internals
- a simple script could be used to invoke puppet, chef, or SSM (Simple
State Manager - http://download.systemimager.org/pub/ssm/README)
Cheers, -Brian
