As Willem mentioned, there are a couple other students thinking about this project, but you are definitely the first (that I've seen) to start writing up a proposal and, more importantly, engaging the CXF community to help review the proposal. Thus, I'm quite OK with that.
The proposal looks "pretty good". There are a couple things that might be good to add though: 1) stretch goal - tooling. Make sure the tooling has flags (or can recognize the jms://... address) so that a "java2ws -wsdl" tool can generate a proper WSDL for the soap/jms case. This is a "nice to have", but not required. Would be a great stretch goal. 2) Mention of the soapjms test suite. The w3c working group DOES have a test suite in progress at: http://dev.w3.org/2008/ws/soapjms/testcases/ A great goal of the project would also be to get CXF to pass that test suite. HOWEVER, at this time, the official test suite isn't available yet (the link to the zip is invalid), thus I don't think this can be a "full" goal unless it's qualified by "if the test suite is available before midterm, then during the second half, I'll work on getting it to pass." or something. The working group CVS repo does have the current state of the tests (http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/2008/ws/soapjms/testcases/) so maybe start with those. You MAY also want to grab someone that has better English writing skills to help proofread the proposal. Making it easier for the admins that will be evaluating the proposal to understand is always a good thing. I'd be happy to help a little, but proofreading like that really would be easier over a "live" connection (since the proposal site isn't editable by others). Maybe login to the #cxf IRC channel on irc.codehaus.org:6667 and find myself or Willem or Freeman or someone. (Willem and Freeman are also Beijing based so are probably better from a timezone perspective unless you want to be up real late at night to chat with me.)
