Is there a library that does this already?

Before I write it, is there a library that implements anything like
this scheme?

Get values from a databag store in the following way

if item[site_workgroup_node] exists
return value
else if item[site_workgroup] exists
return value
else if item[site]
return value
else
return nil
end

To implement what I want, I suspect the concatenating hash name will
not work since I want
to put acl’s around changing the item value via some kind of front
end. The databags will
probably have to be separate.

One of our clients needed data-bags to be the 'last mile' of attribute
stacking. Hope this helps.

AJ this looks really interesting. And it reminds me that I probably need
to go in and browse the cookbooks more often. It would be cool if we
could sort by recently added or there was a new cookbooks sections.

The What's Cookin' section of the food fight show always covers the
latest cookbook updates. Check http://foodfoghtshow.org.

Would you be interested in a weekly email and/or RSS feed?

It would probably be additions and updated cookbooks.

Prefer email, rss, both?
