Re: [wsdm] Products that support WSDM 1.0

Vaughn,

I agree with you 95%. I don't think it is necessarily a "TC thing".

OTOH, there is a real need for product information. I hear all the time 
"great, there is a standard in place. But what products support it?" In 
other words, there is a community of people who only care about 
standards that are actually implemented.

I am also canvassing for this information via other means. There are 
many things going on in the Web Services management space. Apache MUSE, 
developer tools, agents, managers, etc.

As to whether the TC would want to have this information, or have a 
pointer to it, I don't know the answer.

Thanks.
