Great. Can you also add to the conversation at this page? 
http://www.gluster.org/community/documentation/index.php/Planning34/PuppetModule

You seem to have made the most progress, so I'd like to see you take the lead and flesh out the features and other descriptive text on that page, with a link to your GitHub repo.

Thanks,
JM
