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:
