• A brief thought on WS-RF

    My friend Jim from “down under” told me today over messenger that my blog is “more of a social diary than a blog”. So, here’s a thought on WS-RF with which I think he will agree… I think from now on the focus of the discussion is going to be on the conceptual model. WS-RF

  • I was reassured that our WS-GAF ideas are correct

    I just got out of a loooong session with the authors of the WS-Resource Framework specs. From what I’ve heard, I am now reassured that our WS-GAF ideas were all spot on. In fact, many of the things we have been talking about are part of the current thinking of the authors. I still have
