May I suggest two changes that I think will really accelerate Camel adoption:
1. None of the patterns are of any significant use, besides playing, unless a global transaction can be applied to a route. It is absolutely vital to have this. This includes things like reading from a file - it should be transactional even to the level of a row of file data. Otherwise how can it compete with commercial products like MQ Broker? 2. No additional components are added without extensive documentation and all development stops until documentation is done. Do not accept any new components without documentation and accept nothing unless it can participate in a global transaction. I know it sounds harsh but, please believe me, it must be done if your target audience are enterprise developers. Having components released with no documentation is unforgivable. Without the above, Camel will amount to little, which is a shame because it's almost there....
