Regarding the shorter name: gora-dynamodb sounds fine to me. I am not sure if whirr is the best fit for the scenario. Whirr is awesome for setting up services in the cloud (starting up an instance and installing zookeeper, hdbase, mongodb etc). But in this case, where we are talking about a service provided by amazon I think that all we need is just to startup a node. So maybe its better to use plain jclouds (which is what whirr is using to create the instances).
I would love to help in any way I can. -- *Ioannis Canellos* * FuseSource <http://fusesource.com> ** Blog: http://iocanel.blogspot.com ** Apache Karaf <http://karaf.apache.org/> Committer & PMC Apache Camel <http://camel.apache.org/> Committer Apache ServiceMix <http://servicemix.apache.org/> Committer Apache Gora <http://incubator.apache.org/gora/> Committer Apache DirectMemory <http://incubator.apache.org/directmemory/> Committer *
