We're talking about creating a new umbrella project focusing on Web services that initially will host three different SOAP projects: soap, axis, and wasp. From earlier comments on this thread, I infer that there's a push to get the axis community to gather around Web services, not just around the axis code base. If the umbrella project name is axis, then the sub-project ought to have a different name -- otherwise the axis sub-project would be viewed as the "real" project, and the others as something less. If the axis sub-project doesn't want to change it's project name, then the overarching umbrella project should have a different name. > > > I also like the idea of getting some ebXML projects going. > > well, not for the sake of political balance only: they still *must* > adhere to our community standards before entering, even if, code > donation to an existing subproject require much less strict community > standards since the subproject community will take care of > merging/workin-on the code. > > > The WASP framework is designed to be XML Protocol independent, > so it could > > be used to implement an ebXML Message Service implementation. > I'll see if I > > can recruit a community for such a project. > > cool > > > Perhaps we'd like to revisit Peter Kacandes's poll to submit > ebXML reg/rep > > (which is now at SourceForge)? > > Up to the Axis community at this point, but I'd suggest doing one code > merging at a time. Good point, although ebXML reg/rep wouldn't involve code merging -- its a registry/repository, not a SOAP implementation. It would be a separate code base. > > > Shall we move this discussion to the axis-dev list? > > When everybody agrees on this, yes. > > -- > Stefano Mazzocchi One must still have chaos in oneself to be > able to give birth to a dancing star. > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Friedrich Nietzsche > -------------------------------------------------------------------- > > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > In case of troubles, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > --------------------------------------------------------------------- In case of troubles, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
