I sent this to the datamapper mailing list too, hopefully it's ok to send it to you guys as well. If anyone wants to try it out and point me at bugs, places in the code where i could do better, anything rails/railtie and design related in general, I'd really appreciate that. Thanks in advance!
Also, I must say that i absolutely love rails3. It's just simple plain
awesome 
Hey all,
The rails3_datamapper [1] gem finally arrived at a state where it's really easy to get up and running with datamapper on rails-3.0.0.beta. All you need have to do is issuing the following commands.
gem install bundler gem install i18n tzinfo builder memcache-client rack rack-test rack-mount erubis mail text-format thor bundler gem install rails --pre rails dm_rails3_app -m http://pastie.org/814307.txt
Once you have done that, a rails3 datamapper application using one generated scaffold has been started for you. Point your browser to
to see it in action. Note that currently UJS functionality doesn't work properly so the 'Destroy' links won't actually destroy anything, but issue a GET /people/:id request instead. This will change soon though.
Please have a look at rails3_datamapper's README for detailed documentation about what's currently possible with datamapper on rails3. Feel free to report any issues you have back to this mailing list, ping me in #datamapper on irc.freenode.net or on twitter [3].
If you don't want to go through the steps of creating a rails3 application on your own computer, consider having a look at datamapper_on_rails3 [2]. This is a simple sample application generated by following the steps in the README over at rails3_datamapper's github page.
Thx for taking the time to have a look
cheers snusnu
