Sure ok, but I think I have a slightly different and less main stream perspective on whats important/interesting to do :-) So for this release I'd rather fit in with what others want which is why i'm asking for specific suggestions.
A lot of the WS suggestions so far - pure doc vs doc-wrapped, wsdl and xsd imports, interop etc - are probably more data binding and SDO related. So far I've been trying to avoid get to much into how SDO works, so I like the XSLT componentType suggestion and along with that I'd like E4X going with the JavaScript componentType (was the main reason for doing JavaScript). Related to that is the thread about "Data flow on the wire", as without that its not possible to avoid the data binding. Axis2 has already been shown to interop well, so if our data binding is working in theory we should as well. Of course we should test that, but I'm less convinced its something thats really important to get done for the very first milestone release. People will come look at Tuscany for its potential, not to try to actually do some real work. I'd really like async going and to have that well integrated with the WS binding, but I think its probably better to leave that till after this release to avoid the instability its development is likely to cause. I think the item "refine and simplify our extensibility story" is important to get done real soon. If we're going out asking people to start contributing new stuff but then keep breaking what they're trying to do it may make them give up. Having a release will give us a binary download, and to get to there it will help make us sort out things like the project and distribution structure, how to contribute new things and where to put the doc and samples for contributions, and that type of thing. I think thats an important reason for having a release. Other than that I think it would be good to find ways to show how Tuscany plans to be more than just another platform for Java web services. ...ant On 3/23/06, Jim Marino <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Ant, > > Do you want to outline some things you think are important too?
