While that is true (we're all busy and occasionally professional), the point of the mailing list is that questions can be asked and people can answer at the leisure.
It's when people EXPECT and DEMAND detailed hand-holding answers that things get ugly. As long as we all understand that questions should get down to some details instead of "write my script for me, wahhhhh!", everyone gets along fine.
As for professionals versus hobbyists, we were all hobbyists at one point. Some of us have just gotten old since then.
SOAP and XMLRPC are both easy once you hide them under some simpler interfaces (i.e. write some handlers that do what you want). Of course, getting those handlers to work can be some effort.
Here's an Apple Developer web page about SOAP and AppleScript:
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/AppleScript/Conceptual/soapXMLRPC/chapter2/chapter_2_section_3.html
You should probably just ignore everything below "Remote Procedure Calls From Applications", but the upper stuff looks useful. Translating these examples to Amazon Web Services is your next challenge. ;)
