+1 

I agree on the call/chat idea, and that there is probably duplicate work
going on.

+1 - the quicker we can get this stuff integrated the better. :)

There are clearly a lot of architectural changes that need to be considered
to make our implementation(s) really good; these include header processing
(!), integrating schemas/IDL, and extensions which would be good to
standardize, such as security, conversation management (and object
lifetimes), and transactionality.  A bunch of people (the Idoox guys,
Jean-Noel, Wouter, Eric D., James, myself, etc.) are thinking about /
working on these issues now.

Does anyone else think it might be really cool to have some sort of more
real-time conversation about these sorts of things?  F2F would be ideal, but
I'm assuming people aren't geographically close to each other (I'm in
Boston, myself).  Perhaps a conference call, or even an IRC chat?  What I'm
really looking for here is a venue in which to get the team a bit more
focused, with the goal of agreeing about the design goals of various facets
of the implementation, and then coming to consensus on who's going to work
on particular areas.  Right now it seems like there's a lot of potential
duplicated work going on...
