Of course, SOAP/XP will be at the heart of it. We need to be careful here. The scope of the current project is defined by the XML PMC. I have no problem going back there and describing how the W3C changed the name and how we all agreed that this was to track to the standard, but I am reticent to go back and lobby for expanding the scope until I can demonstrate that there actually is an active community here in terms of the number and diversity of the participants and the quantity and frequency of commits. Within IBM, we/I have a second problem - increasing the scope will require approval within IBM (by the OSSC) for IBMers to participate. This should not be a problem. Just a todo. - Sam Ruby
