I think a Wordless gem would simplify many operations and bring a healthy dose of Rails culture to WordPress development.

Some example tasks I would propose:

`wordless new mysite`

- Download the latest stable version of WordPress
- Install the latest stable version of Wordless and create a Wordless theme
- Automatically configure executable paths in `config/initializers/wordless_preferences.php`
- Add a properly configured .gitignore (i.e. ignore `wp-content/themes/mysite/theme/tmp/*`)

Some other possible stuff:

`wordless new mysite -c less`: Preconfigure the theme with the LESS preprocessor, see #58
`wordless new mysite -v php`: Use PHP views instead of Haml views in the generated theme
`wordless new mysite --edge`: Use master branch of Wordless instead of latest stable
`wordless compile`: Compile static assets
`wordless deploy production`: Compile assets and deploy using Wordmove (or some other mechanism)

Any thoughts?
