Hi all,

Since the Tuscany C++ M2 release, there's been quite a bit of extra
functionality added to the codebase, so perhaps we should start
thinking about an M3 release?

Things added:
- REST service & reference binding
- Support for multi-threaded environments
- Support for Apache HTTPD (both for REST and Axis2 ws service bindings)
- Removal of componentType side-file requirement for Python components
- SDO support in Python components
- Named-argument support for REST references, Python and C++ components
- Samples that show use of above functionality
- 'Real-world' samples showing calls to externally available services
- Mac OSX port (not sure if this is complete?)
- Various SDO fixes/improvements

Things being worked on:
- PHP extension being brought up to Ruby/Python level with support
for the PHP SCA_SDO extension [1] (Simon)
- Upgrading to Axis2C 0.96 (Andy)
- A "Web 2.0" sample (Andy - see post later today)

This covers most of the items discussed in the "where next" thread we
did after M2 [2]

Things to do:
- Appoint a Release Manager (volunteers?)
- Prioritise Jiras.
- Update/improve docs
- Further SCA fixes/functionality?
- Further SDO fixes/functionality?
- More samples?

Here's another question: Should we change the name of Tuscany C++? The
"other half" of Tuscany don't append "Java" to their releases and now
we have decent support for C++, Python, Ruby and (soon) PHP, calling
it Tuscany C++ perhaps misleads users into thinking it's only for
people who know/use C++. Someone suggested the name "Multi-language",
but seeing as Tuscany Java supports Javascript, Groovy, Ruby, Spring,
etc this would perhaps also be misleading. Any good ideas? Perhaps a
non-technical name should be used (we could carry on the
wine-association - Rioja anyone? Or maybe something different -
Chianina? [3]).

Cheers

Andy
