Hey all!

Our team is working on some interactive deployment tasks for deploying  
to Boxcar[1] accounts. While our efforts are focused on easing the  
deployment process to our hosting service, we wanted to open up the  
work that we’re doing to the community. We believe that there is much  
innovation left in this arena and wanted to solicit feedback on our  
efforts and hopefully provide you with ideas for how you deploy your  
Ruby on Rails applications to services like ours or others.

Boxcar Conductor is a plugin for Ruby on Rails and is now on GitHub  
and Lighthouse.

I posted a quick overview of how it works so far on my blog:
