At the last DUG I was talking with several people about a deployment framework I've been working on, and demo'ing some of what it can do. I have just released an alpha version of this framework on drupal.org.
http://drupal.org/project/deploy
I'll be at the co-work tomorrow, if anyone wants to come by and talk about it. I know a couple people asked about getting involved, which would be great. I am especially in need of people willing to do some testing, there are so many configurations out there it's really important to get as many different scenarios involved as possible.
Thanks!

speaking of testing
the correct url is http://drupal.org/project/deploy notice the missing S.
won't be at the cowork but would like to help with the testing.
any specific configurations or just start playing with it?

oops!
Thanks I fixed the link.
No I don't want to specify any configuration, I'd rather people try it out the way they work and find out where its broken.
Great!
This seems like an insanely awesome project. Needed, useful... really tough.
I would like to help, but first I'd like some help committing a module and feeling more comfortable with that process. Perhaps at the D.Camp we can cover this type of 'mid-level' topic; I assume there are others who know the system, but haven't quite made the leap.
doh- see post 29491

I thought I was replying to you, I clicked reply from the mailing, but it replied to the main thread.
Patches
You don't need to have cvs / commit access to contribute. For now, if there is code you would like to write or contribute, feel free to submit patches to the issue queue. There is a good writeup on this here:

It's a little intimidating but pretty easy once you get used to it.
I think a talk on the various ways to contribute back to the Drupal community (code, docs, support, etc.) would be a fantastic idea for DrupalCamp.
I'd love to help out with
I'd love to help out with this. I'll try my best to get to the co-working today.
You use VNC?
I would be happy to cover this via a VNC session. I live in Lacey, so don't usually make it to the meetings, but happy to help out on this topic via VNC or shared terminal.
Are you using CVS from the command line or do you have a favorite CVS program? If you preffer the command line and run linux, then a shared screen terminal would probably be better than VNC.
