Antoine and all,

The Collaboration Patterns project intends to try to map
its results to more than one of the various contenders for
choreography languages.  (As software design patterns
are independent of programming language, collaboration
patterns can be independent of choreography language.)

Maybe you can help us when we get into mapping;
I suspect you've done a lot of that.

As far as I know, all of the alternative BPSS projects
intend to look at other choreography languages, too.
The only problem I see with that is that everybody
seems to agree that we need for a relatively fast
BPSS 1.1 to fix the known issues, some of which
you have raised, and I don't think it would be good
to get distracted by other approaches until the current
BPSS is consolidated.
