Just in case anybody want’s to give Amazon’s new (currently in closed  
beta) SimpleDB web service a test drive with Rails…

I just finished work on a Proxy Server bridging the APIs. It’s  
available as a Rails Plugin:

(also available via [http://agilewebdevelopment.com/plugins/aws\_sdb\_proxy](http://agilewebdevelopment.com/plugins/aws_sdb_proxy)  
)
