Introduction
========

Tuscany C++ provides a C++  implementation of the Service Component
Architecture (SCA) and Service Data Objects (SDO) specifications.

For pointers to the specification documents, visit our documentation page at:

Incubation
========
Tuscany is an effort undergoing incubation at the Apache Software
Foundation (ASF), sponsored by the Web Services PMC.

Incubation is required of all newly accepted projects until a further
review indicates that the infrastructure, communications, and decision
making process have stabilized in a manner consistent with other
successful ASF projects.

While incubation status is not necessarily a reflection of the
completeness or stability of the code, it does indicate that the
project has yet to be fully endorsed by the ASF.
