+# Define puppi::todo
+#
+# This define creates a basic todo file that simply contains informations
+# on how to complete tasks that for time or other reasons could not be
+# entirely automated by Puppet.
+# The basic idea is to have a quick way to document and check if are completed
+# some specific operations that are required to bring a new, puppettized system
+# to full operative status.
+# This can be useful for cases hard to automate with Puppet:
+# - First setup and import of a database needed by an application (module)
+# - Installation of a legacy application that involves user interaction
+# - Run of any kind of setup/configuration/init command that can't be automated
+# It can also be used as a quick reminder on things done by hand and not
+# Puppettized for lack of time or skill.
+#
+# Use the command puppi todo to show the todo present in your node.
+# The exit status can be:
+# 0 - OK - The task to do has been accomplished because the command specified
+#    as check_command returns true (exit status 0)
+# 1- WARNING - User hasn't specified a check_command to verify if the todo as
+#    been accomplished, so it can't be notified if the todo has been done
+# 2- ERROR - The task to do has not been accomplished becuase the command
+#    specified as check_command returns an error (exit status different from 0)
+#
+# == Usage:
+# puppi::todo { "cacti_db_install":
+#   description => "Manual cacti db installation" ,
+# }
+#
