What I'm talking about is going beyond working with them on the code, which
is good, and actually putting out turnkey binary packages that someone can
load and go.  With some canned samples.

So our two distributions, for Axis2 and ServiceMix, are pretty much turnkey
packages. They're easy to deploy and include simple example processes that
you can start playing with. Just try to download our WAR distro and deploy
it in Tomcat, you'll see you can get examples up and running  within
minutes, using Axis2 as the messaging layer.

With Tuscany, we're just getting started, but as we would be their BPEL
implementation engine, I believe we'd be part of their default distribution
or one of its flavor (could make sense for them to have light / complete
packages).

And with Synapse, we still have to get started...

Overall I think we do agree with the goal to be the ring to bind them all :)
There's just already a lot to do on ODE and each integration takes time. And
if anybody on the list is willing to help for Synapse, (s)he'd be welcome!!
