Apache/ebXML

[Krishna Sankar <ksankar@cisco.com>]

Dick,

	Good idea. I have sent a few e-mails to the Apache folks to explore this
possibility. Haven't yet received any reply. If anybody in this list have
any Apache contacts, pl let me know.

	cheers

Is anyone within ebXML currently working with the Apache Software Foundation
to include ebXML functionality as part of the Apache project? I think it
would be wise to investigate a relationship with the group, other groups
have done so, reference the following statement from the attached message:

"Support for SOAP Attachments will be available in Apache SOAP very soon!"

FYI: Apache is the most widely deployed web server software on the Internet
according to http://www.netcraft.com/Survey/. We use the Apache software at
8760, it's very high quality open source software.
