Apache Synapse has an unusual history for an incubated project. While there was a contributed codebase from Infravio, we looked at this codebase (which was built on Axis1) and decided to re-write completely based on Axis2. So the code we have built, the community and users we have created have fundamentally been from scratch.
The codebase is still small in size (a 92K JAR file), but in fact we have a lot of function and capability because we pull in code from a number of components including Xalan, Xerces, Axis2, Sandesha, WSS4J and others. The result is that we think we get a lot of "bang per buck" - both from our code, from our small group of key contributors. However, we have no wish to force things faster than they should go, and if the Incubator team isn't 100% happy with our status, then I propose we back off for a couple more months and see how the community grows during that time.

Well, not to chime in "me too" but in order to get up-to-speed enough to cast a vote, I also looked over the archives, and I saw a lot of code commits but little "online" development as well... so it was hard to trace the commits to actual community discussion and debate. So I share Noel's concern. On Jul 6, 2006, at 5:55 PM, Noel J.
