I've had quite a hard time selling WSIF to colleagues. I think it is because they just don't 'get it'. However, those that have realised what it is all about are more than keen to exploit it and know a lot more about it than I do. People seem to get as far as Web Services and stop there - such a shame. Interest often stops when people ask what are the future plans or how much activity is there.
I just subscribed to this list to find out what's [not] going on. Why are bug fixes sitting in the repository with no release planned? A bit worrying. Still, this won't stop me from using it for now. A second question - for the list though :- Would anybody care to comment on the performance of WSIF?

I've been shadowing this list for quite some time and haven't made the time to start working with wsif. However, I'll be investigating its use quite soon. I'd sure be interested in any details you or other folks have regarding implementations or other experience. As far as the bugs, at least we have access to the source :) As far as alternatives, I'm not aware of any. It has a lot of benefits and you'd think that many more folks would be interested in using it, but you can't tell from the activity on the list.
