I did. I've just been listening quietly!
Actually, I have an API for EC2 ready (though the implementation is
not finished). Would anyone care to critique the existing code for me
if I emailed it offline, or posted it somewhere?
The only two problems I've had so far are that timestamps of requests
are generated using a shell command call to 'date,' and XML response
parsing is going to be handled with SSAX. I noticed on the list that
there was some discussion about porting a srfi-19 implementation to
snow, as well as the SSAX library. Does anyone know if progress has
been made on either of these two? If not, I may be able to help with
srfi-19, but I think I'm still too fresh to be of much help for an
SSAX port.
