Part of the VRS project is to ensure interoperability with other dotGNU 
efforts.

Of course VRS doesn't care about the 'internal' protocols used by others, but 
*DOES* care about the internet side of things.  This includes service 
discovery proceedures/protocols.

Is there some way we can tie discussions together to make sure that a common 
internet interface is developed/documented etc????

This is really important from where I see it - and another reason why the VRS 
is being designed to use 'gateway' modules that provide cross-protocol 
operation, right from the early stages (such as the Jabber gateway I 
mentioned previously).  We want the VRS to look like a single dotGNU server, 
even though it's a cluster, and so should exhibit all the attributes of any 
other dotGNU server.


I'm building an XML gateway as my day job currently, and will feed this 
research and development back into the VRS/dotGNU sphere.

If anyone has any views/ideas etc on SOAP/XML-RPC wrt dotGNU et al.
then  P L E A S E  let me know.  I want to do The Right Thing (tm).

Cheers!
