At a previous employer of mine, we took this cookbook and massaged it to the 
point where it could auto-create replicasets with sharding and the whole 
shebang.  Our code definitely isn't the greatest, and I wasn't the one 
responsible for writing the hard bits, but we felt it was an improvement.  
Before I left, I was able to convince them to let me upload a copy of our 
work to my repo at <https://github.com/bknowles/mongodb>.

Dunno what has happened to the edelight cookbook since I last saw it, but my 
understanding is that not much has been done.  My previous employer and I 
contributed our changes back to them, but last I heard those changes were 
never accepted -- that's why we chose to post our own version.

It would be great if someone could take the latest from the edelight 
cookbook, the work done at my previous employer, and help combine those with 
whatever else is out there.  Thanks for volunteering!  ;-)
