Re: Proposals for V2: RR as Web Services,Content-basedqueries,Authorization Policy Admin

My pov is that V2 is focused on ensuring ebXML adoption. Whatever it takes. IMO, adoption will require some major new features as well as a few focused bug fixes. The bug fixes should be triaged carefuly and done in a disciplined manner. Bug fixes should not be the main theme of V2. New features
and bug fixes should be done in a backward compatible way to the best of our abilities.

The above thoughts should be consistent with familiar product developement experienced.
