Pay Eyler has posted his interview with me at On Ruby:
What are your future plans for Puppet?
I'm pushing toward a 1.0 this year, hopefully, as soon as I can get the critical APIs stable. I'm also hoping to add a lot of interesting functionality around making each host's resource catalog more useful outside of Puppet'e.g., you could have all of your resource relationships set up in it, modify /etc/ssh/sshd_config, and then tell Puppet to figure out what services need to restart because of that change.
As we move toward a more database-backed catalog, vs. the current YAML-dumped version, we'll get a lot more functionality out of it yet, and I can't really even see most of that functionality right now.
