Thank Steven for your answers.

What do you mean by "cluster engine" ? Will you qualify Pacemarker as a 
"cluster engine" ?
If I understand you, OpenAIS can not be used as a standalone library. 
Any corosync process(es) should run in order to use OpenAIS ?
I have quickly seen some patch for a quorum_vote C function/file. Is a 
cluster is running after a quorum vote ?

Sorry for all these questions, but I haven't seen any documentation 
about corosync and its architecture.
As I am interested by cluster issue I try to understand your project 
because it seems to be the last hope to have a decent cluster, as 
FailSafe has no more support, and heartbeat (v1 and v2) does not match 
with my opinion of a cluster manager for non aware HA applications. I 
haven't try the latest Red Hat Cluster, but the earlier version was not 
enought advanced for me.

Thank in advance for your lights.

Regards,
