Hi there!
There is now no one anymore activly maintaining the EIS server, EIS
software and EIS database.
At Oracle some of my duties where just these tasks but I now have no
longer access to this service.
It may have worked some time without maintenance but now it´s gone.
That means that neither the web application nor the SOAP webservice used
by some commandline tools in the build environment will work anymore.
Please also note that the EIS source code was closed source and has not
been donated to apache.
If the apache OOo Community needs a replacement for these services this
will have to be rewritten from scratch probably with some adaption to
some different kind of workflow.

I think using such a tool like EIS to organize workflow between
development and QA has proven to be useful in the past and that
something like this might also be useful on the new home of
openoffice.org at apache.
What do others think?
Kind regards,
Bernd Eilers
