I think contributions to this conversation will have more impact if they are supported and summarized by the wiki page. I've added a link to Capistrano at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuCentralizedServiceAdministrator Others have recently added other links and comments there, e.g. to http://www.ocsinventory-ng.org/ http://config-model.wiki.sourceforge.net/ I continue to hope that we get a conversation together between folks like Nicolas, the eBox folks, Dan Shearer, the Augeas folks, etc. to explore visions and ways to cooperate or combine efforts.
