Deployment script

[Ethan Galstad]

I would agree - this sounds pretty interesting and many people would 
likely want to give it a try.  If you're not sure about starting an 
official project, just release your scripts on NagiosExchange.org as 
mentioned. You can always create an official project of it down the road 
if you have the desire and time.  :-)
