I would definitely say that is a fair summation. No one is interested
or someone would be working on it. Berin is now, out of a requirement
and thatıs great if Turbine and Cocoon work together eventually
that's great.

That's because you have no real need for it I would say. It
fits in with the plans for axis but it seems xml-rpc hasn't
bubbled anywhere near the top of anyone's todo list. I might
eventually use axis, but integrating xml-rpc into axis isn't
on the top of my todo list either.

But that's never happened though, has it? The presence
of an xml-rpc package at apache may cause someone to
pick up that torch but I don't see why the package
being at xml.apache.org would improve those odds.

Again you are not answering the question. What homework do I have to
do Sam? I proposed a package that is self contained, self sustaining,
and completely independent of any other project at Apache. It may
certainly be related to other projects, I agree with that. But
my immediate concern is a home for the package, not trying to
integrate it with axis.

I still don't know what you mean exactly by 'can't work' work because
so far it is entirely unclear what you would actually do with the code.
Let's say I'm Hannes and offer you the XML-RPC code, what exactly
is the proposal you would make on [EMAIL PROTECTED] A simple paragraph
stating what you would like to do with the code would help me a lot in
understanding your POV.
I have tried to contact Hannes to see what he thinks, I've asked
him to join the list and join the discussion.

I would be glad to meet you half way when I know what direction you're
walking in.
