If you are saying you dread downloading it because it is open source then the same could be said for all the great open source software from Apache JBoss and Source Forge. Organizations including governments, fortune 500 companies, vertical standards and SMEs are successfully using open source software including the freebXML Registry software mentioned by Joe. Our current user base is topping 200 mark and list of users include the one noted here: http://ebxmlrr.sourceforge.net/aboutFAQ/About_freebXML_Registry.html#Deplo yments I am proud to say that the user community seems very pleased with the software based upon their regular feedback and active participation in the ebxmlrr-tech mailing list: http://ebxmlrr.sourceforge.net/mail-lists.html I am also aware of at least 1 company that offer support contract for the software for a fee. Thanks in advance for any clarifications that shed light on why you hesitate to use the freebXML Registry project. For those interested in freebXML Registry and ebXML Registry standards here are some relevant links. A good place to start is [6]. Also for a comparison of UDDI and ebXML Registry features see [8].
