Hi,

I am planning to use Ruby on Rails to push and pull data from Google App  
Engine.

So this the scenario  
Ruby on Rails (on hosting site) \<-\> internet (push/pull) \<-\> python in  
Google App Engine.

Do you think it is good idea? or I am duplicating work on both site? One  
of the reason I want to do it this way, because the data in Google App  
Engine will be access by other site not only from Ruby on Rails. Ruby on  
Rails hosting site do more complex stuff, others site only pull or push  
simple data.

Am I making sense?

Thank you in advance,  
john
