Hi,

we’ve just packaged our Amazon SQS ([Fully Managed Message Queuing – Amazon Simple Queue Service – Amazon Web Services](http://aws.amazon.com/sqs/)) Ruby  
lib in its own gem “openwferu-sqs”.

It interacts with SQS via the REST API, so that messages of up to 256  
KB can be exchanged.

The documentation is at : [http://openwferu.rubyforge.org/sqs.html](http://openwferu.rubyforge.org/sqs.html)

This small library (and command line client) is available under the BSD  
license.

[sudo] gem install openwferu-sqs

Best regards,
