On my list are: - Split the project into three jar files: common, client, server (Done). - Internal refactoring in order to achieve simpler and better maintainable code. (30%) - Clarify and document, when vendor extensions are being used. For example, it might be required to send certain attributes in the request, before the server enables an extension. Currently I would recommend you to encapsulate the XML-RPC client and server in your code. That should allow you to switch forward or back, as you like. One note, though: 3.0 is an alpha version. That means, there is no particular branch for bug fixes and the like. But that doesn't mean, that this version is unsupported. If you report a bug, then it is as likely to be fixed as in the stable versions. Jochen
