Hi,

just wanted to let you know, that I released a little plugin on  
github:

> **[GitHub - tf/cached\_associated\_attributes: Not maintained - Easily cache an...](https://github.com/tf/cached_associated_attributes)**
>
> Not maintained - Easily cache an attribute of an associated model - GitHub - tf/cached\_associated\_attributes: Not maintained - Easily cache an attribute of an associated model

It automatically stores attributes of an associated object in the  
model’s table. This can help reduce the need for :include. See README.

Let me know what you think.
