I figured it might be worthwhile to set up something similar for Katello after some recent problems people have been experiencing. Not only will it appeal to Ruby/Rails developers but it might also make it easier for us to setup development instances of Katello. In addition, I think it might be easier to maintain than the wiki page and we could also allow for custom logic in the boostrap task in order to support different ways of setting up katello. To illustrate this last point, you could have some tasks like:

If you don't insist on the rake task, I thing this does what you had in 
mind https://github.com/Katello/katello/pull/894 . IMO it needs to be 
run before the bundle install (in fact it's good to run bundle install 
from the script, making sure the development dependencies are met. This 
script bases the installation on katello-configure which lets us to have 
the basic installation on one place and have it maintained (since 
katello-configure is tested on daily basis)
