I don't know if I had it on my brain subconsciously or if it was just my ITIL training coming out but I am organizing the chapters of my book around host and VM lifecycles and the titles are "Deployment & Configuration", "Maintenance & Operations", and so on. Of course that stuff in my book won't be making it to the web, however I'm posting snippets on my blog from time to time and I am sure that there will be plenty left over when the book is out that it would be a shame not to make available. As far as Ops guys, sure... I saw that portal a while ago.

Do you think you can group your scripts into categories like "deployment / configuration" or "operations" or "monitoring"? If you think who would use these scripts, is it always the VCP / VMware admin or could it be an Ops guy on the bridge?
