There is an interesting sounding new Apache Incubator project starting up that aims to develop a "...set of example applications for Service Oriented Architecture that spans languages and platforms and demonstrates best practise and interoperability.". The idea is to develop some sample applications in various technologies to showcase best practices, interoperability, and cross-platform deployment of SOA technologies as well as providing sample code which SOA developers can build on.
This could be an interesting thing for Tuscany developers or users to help with to show how Tuscany/SCA helps, if you think it sounds interesting jump in over at: http://apache.markmail.org/message/henkilczx6pbwfqq ...ant
