I know the feeling. It's all just building blocks, one after the
other...
I would never have dreamt of my proposal if running  a local gem_server
wasn't
just *so* damn easy. That gave me the idea that I can distribute
internal
apps in a bit more sophisticated way. Once we get this easy deployment
in
an internal environment, rolling something a bit better to your grandma 
shouldn't be a big step :)
