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.
