One hop, a skip and a jump. In just suca a fashion we're on to
the next major veriosn of Reap. Reap 6 has now reached a whole
new level of elegance and capability. The core of the system has
been completely rewritten, thanks to lessons learned from the
previous incarnations and honoring the defacto standard of Rake's
task definitions, a Reap task is now easily defined like so:

    module Tasks
  
      def footask( name, &data )

         desc "Describing a foo task"

         task name do
           data = data.to_openobject
           puts "Doing what a foo task #{data.does}!"
         end

      end

    end

See the resemblance? Does Reap require Rake? No! Reap has it's
own task system that work's like Rake's --provided by Facets'
taskable.rb library. And you can use Reap much like you'd use
Rake. Indeed, one can resuse Reap's built-in tasks without
even setting up a ProjectInfo file. In a Reapfile:

    task_footask 'footask' do |data|
      data.does = 'does'
    end

Yep. You can do that. Of course why you would want to forgo
the beauty of the ProjectInfo file and this gorgeous solution?

    footask: !!footask
      does: 'does'

That's something for your own conscious to wrestle ;)

Enjoy,
T.
