Having both the last two sentences start "This software will..." doesn't
sound perfect to me so if we are able to move the "for distribution
at no

...establish a Project Management Committee charged with the
creation and maintenance of open-source software for distribution
at no charge to the public, that simplifies the development,
deployment and management of distributed applications composed of
independently acting, loosely coupled, linguistically heterogeneous
components connected using any of a wide range of communication
technologies. This software will implement relevant open standards
including, but not limited to, standards defined by the OASIS
OpenCSA group.
That first sentence is starting to get quite long but unless anyone
can come
up with some better wording I could live with that.
...ant
I'm sorry, but I don't find this wording at all convincing. I suspect
that most people would be mystified by the section:
"distributed applications composed of independently acting, loosely
coupled, linguistically heterogeneous components connected using any
of a wide range of communication technologies"
So, let me try another version, which turns out to be longer, but I
hope that it is easier to comprehend. I also explicitly mention SCA
and SDO since these are two core standards that are implemented by
Tuscany.
"...establish a Project Management Committee charged with the
creation and maintenance of open-source software for distribution
at no charge to the public, that simplifies the development,
deployment and management of distributed applications built as
compositions of service components, where the components may be
written using any of a wide range of programming languages and where
the components can be connected using any of a wide range of
communication technologies. This software will implement relevant open
standards
including, but not limited to, the SCA and SDO standards defined by
the OASIS OpenCSA member section."
Yours, Mike.
This version looks better to me. I was a little mystified by the
"linguistically heterogeneous" part as well :) I like the "built as
compositions of service components" which describes well what we do in
Tuscany and the fact that you explicitly mention the SCA and SDO standards.
