Outputs of this working group?

The charter says that the "Working Group is chartered to design the
following four components:
     An envelope ....
     A convention for the content of the envelope when used for RPC....
     A mechanism for ....
     A mechanism for using HTTP transport in the context of an XML
     Protocol."

These components are included in your #1, and through our requirements for
the actual specification, we will generate parts of your #7 and #8. If you
are interested in development and tools, I suggest you look at the Apache
(www.apache.org) and Developmentor (http://discuss.develop.com) SOAP
mailing lists.

Subject:  Outputs of this working group?



Hello, and apologies for the newbie question. I did read the charter,
but am still not exactly sure about this: which (if any) of the
following items is the XML Protocol working group planning to produce?

1) A protocol specification
2) Working code (a reference implementation, e.g.)
3) Development tools
4) A compliance test suite
5) A certification service
6) Sample programs using XP
7) Documentation, tutorials, examples
8) Specification clarifications and errata
9) Other?

I am interested in building development tools for XML Protocol-based
software development, possibly using an Open-Source toolset such as
http://www.netbeans.org, and I am interested in locating and working
with other like-minded individuals.

Are such efforts already underway?

thanks,

bryan
