I'm leaving the plan in place for now, perhaps it can serve as a source of ideas for an interop plan drafted by someone else. UserLand will happily participate in any reasonable plan to attain interop for SOAP 1.1. This is a proposal for a quick process to attain interop among SOAP 1.1 implementations by late spring 2001 or sooner. I wrote this after talking with a fair number of SOAP implementors over the last month. I think I see an expedient way to get interop in SOAP-land in a matter of a few weeks.
Comments are welcome.
There will be three stages to the Interopathon. Stage one A call for implementations that wish to participate. The call is open only to developers who have a publicly accessible SOAP server operating on the Internet at the close of the call period. Any developer who responds will and must participate. The call will close after 72 hours and a list of implementations will be posted publicly on SoapWare.
