Hi all,

I just coded a little rails plugin to generate the fixture template of  
a given model. Example:

> rake db:fixtures:template Model=Job  
> will return:  
> job:  
> id:  
> category\_id:  
> company:  
> description:  
> instructions:  
> language:  
> location:  
> status:  
> title:  
> url:

It will ease the bootstrapping of your fixture files. If you think it  
might help you, you can install this plugin with:

./script/plugin install  
svn://donegarden.com/repo\_public/plugins/fixture\_template/
