XML/EDI is a good list with no censorship that I know of.
However, ebXML-dev do appear to censor pro-Asian development out of their list. Maybe they wish to keep all development in Europe and America. I can understand that. They probably feel that they are going to a lot of effort to develop specifications and the result is that companies in Asia are making up the designs and producing the products for less than is possible in Western countries. The problem is that they are delaying the inevitable which is ebXML implemented on a chip which will be available for about $150. We know of one company in Asia/Pacific who are tooling for this very thing. The result will be that ebXML will truly be affordable "for every company no matter what their size" like the ebXML home page promises. Problem is that that wasn't really the idea of ebXML which is to keep ebXML solely in the hands of large companies. So, once again, there never was any claim about xml-edi being censored. "ebxml-dev" was the list that I was talking about and it's quite possible that myself and quite a few other people are wrong. All I know is that there is some pretty spectacular technology about to come out of Asia. We'll have to wait and see if those ebXML chips are going to be any good.

Mr. Lyon is confusing disagreement or condescension with "censorship" on the ebxml-dev mailing list. And to my knowledge, no one has ever "picked on" contributors from Asia/Pacific for the sole reason of their wanting to talk about local developments. William J.

Who has prevented you from making your case, and when did it occur? Let me assure you that it has never -- repeat never -- been the policy for the XML/edi list to prevent discussion of XML-related issues. If anyone connected to this list has tried to prevent you from posting messages on XML, e-business, or related issues, please let me know immediately. As one who took part in the initial ebXML development effort, I can tell you that we had excellent participation from Asia, including a meeting in Tokyo (November 2000), and I believe that participation has continued.

Not only this but there is censorship on the mailing lists to prevent people accross Asia/Pacific (especially on ebXML) from talking about local issues and local developments. That's why you don't hear anything. We're working on ebXML on a chip and wireless ebXML. When we ask on the ebXML for other companies to get involved we get our invitations sensored. So much for "Open" development. The fact is, at Global TradeDesk, we see Asia/Pacific as a hotbed for the next development of XML based devices and products where they can be produce affordably and with high quality.
