Sam, My gut feeling is that you need to learn a lot about how the open source model works. An open source product is not a property of an individual or a team of developers. Its just open as in anybody is free to contribute and at the end of the day everybody will make use of it. Not only does it apply to Axis2 but it equally applies to any other great OS product out there. Therefore do not wait until someone invites you to make a contribution. Take initiative and make a move. Maybe your thing will be accepted, maybe not. That does not imply the dev community is conservative or anything. Basically thats how it works. You have to live with it. Thanks, Danushka
