As a heavy SimpleDB user, I would love to see a way to use Django and SimpleDB together and I would certainly be willing to devote time to helping make that happen. I think I can contribute on the SimpleDB side (boto has supported SimpleDB for over a year and I'm very familiar with the service) but every time I sit down to try to figure out how to begin the process of integrating it into Django, I get stuck. I've only used Django a few times and I'm really not familiar with the internals but it didn't seem obvious to me how or where to get started.
Is the consensus that further refactoring or rethinking of things like QuerySet and Query are required to make this happen? Is there an "official" interface between Django and DB backends?
