sorry guys, last one got out before i finished typing due to an overly sensitive touchpad

I am trying to figure to best ways to work with cookbooks, collaborate w/ other cookbook authors, and separate "ingredients" (corporate data) from recipes.

While the philosophy of chef is TIMTOWTDI, it would help to document different "patterns" for configuring your chef repository and laying out cookbooks. That will help us collaborate and grow as a community
