I'll be happy to summarize. So far I've gotten no other responses... There was
a splashy Yahoo article today about UDDI but again, it's future-tense.

The project I'm working on was public until this fall and now has gone under
wraps, so to speak (password protected site, etc.). You can look at
http://www.intl-interfaces.net/servicemodel/ for a rough overview. We seem to
be making good progress building components (which you can get a feeling for
at http://www.intl-interfaces.net/wmt2/index.html). Where things get bogged
down is in trying to decide how whole-hog to go down a UDDI or ebXML path.

DistributedCoalition.org has the right vision statement. And a good list of
people and projects. I'll keep an eye on it - thanks for the pointer.
