Cool! A proposal that incorporates by reference is always quite hard to read. Here's some links I personally found relevant...

What is OSIS, and how is the question relevant? > Initial Source > ------------------ For the people wondering about all these different pieces of software and if/how they fit, a sampling: http://lists.danga.com/pipermail/yadis/2006-January/002045.html > Initial Committers > ------------------ For some idea of the interactions between people and background to this proposal: http://brad.livejournal.com/2226738.html http://lists.danga.com/pipermail/yadis/2006-June/002631.html -- Besides all the legal worries one can think of, integrating all these different technologies, communities, specifications and implementations is a big challenge that is not neccesarily made easier by creating an apache project to do so. Setting up an apache-style open source project is a lot of work and effort already even if its just about a single implementation (in a single programming language) of a single specification. Which of course, makes it even cooler if this stuff becomes a big success (even if *I* personally think the technical direction is, uhm, well lets not have that discussion here :) ). I hope y'all know exactly what you're getting into, and I'll second "good luck" warmly!
