Apache Tuscany has some similar capabilities to WSIF. Maybe we should be encouraging new people to try that out, and document some sort of migration path for existing WSIF users.
It seems a bit unfair to new users not to warn them that WSIF has likely passed its sell-by date.

+1 to continuing keeping WSIF while there is interest from users and some
manpower available to maintain it.
There still isn't anything else like WSIF available in the Apache WS
portfolio, so I'd like to see it staying around.

WSIF is currently in maintenance mode (fixing bugs etc.) and its future
depends on users interests -there were several inquiries and ideas what
to do but they did not go far (adding support for WSDL2 using Wooden and
AXIS2 is probably the most probable to happen).
if all goes well i will put a new (maintenance) release and update
website (after i re-forest my mind) but ultimately WSIF future really
depends on its users and developers - at least for now as long as there
is an interest i would like to see to having WSIF actively maintained.
thanks,
alek
