You might do: `gem install tasklets sudo tasklets setup tasklets install weather-alert tasklets --task weather-alert --configure zipcode=12345` Or something. With a central repo for the tasklets.

Ah, ok, I'm not sure why I didn't realize it would be more repository-style, haha.

In that case, how would it differ from Rubygem? Seems like many languages already have package managers, but I'm not sure what the requirements are for getting your code included, so maybe there's an opportunity there?
