The Synapse project is creating a robust, lightweight and highly scalable XML and Web Service mediation framework
based on open standards and specifications.
To participate in the Synapse podling, you should join the mailing
list. Just send an empty message to
synapse-dev-subscribe@ws.apache.org
.
The initial goal of the project while in incubation is to build a
viable developer community and create a useful codebase. In particular, it is a stated aim of this project to re-use and integrate with other components
from the Apache Web Services project such as Axis2, Axiom, Sandesha, Rampart, etc.
- The Apache WS project will own the Synapse subproject, and the
subproject will follow the Apache WS PMC's direction. All committers on this subproject will be committers on Apache WS and vice-versa.

Collaborative Development
- Have all of the active long-term volunteers been identified and
acknowledged as committers on the project?
Yes
- Are there three or more independent committers? (The legal definition
of independent is long and boring, but basically it means that there
is no binding relationship between the individuals, such as a shared
employer, that is capable of overriding their free will as
individuals, directly or indirectly.)
Yes, we have active committers and contributors from four companies plus two or more universities
- Are project decisions being made in public by the committers?
Yes
- Are the decision-making guidelines published and agreed to by all of
the committers?
Yes

Decide about and then ask infrastructure to setup an issuetracking
system (Bugzilla, Scarab, Jira).

Generally, the result of checking off these items will be a Software
Grant, CLA, and Corporate CLA for ASF licensed code, which must have
no dependencies upon items whose licenses that are incompatible with
the Apache License.
Licensing awareness
- DONE - Are all licensing, trademark, credit issues being taken care
of and acknowleged by all committers?
