Hi Douglas, Your idea sounds really good. My recommendation is to write up your proposal and post it (in a wiki for example) so that the community can review and comment on it. Additionally, Jean-Sebastien, one of the mentors for this project suggested to include use case / scenario work all along the project. I think this is a very good idea as it provides a context for technical issues and a big picture to keep in mind.
In case its useful, you can find my proposal for this project here: http://wiki.apache.org/general/OscarCastaneda/GSoC2008/Integrate_Google_services_in_SCA_compositions best, -oscar Oscar Castañeda Student of Delft University of Technology http://homepage.mac.com/o.castaneda/ On Sat, Apr 5, 2008 at 5:41 PM, Douglas Leite <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Mike, > > Yes.
