Although I have experienced intermittent service from them for a while now. Everything else works fine for me. I guess we should all take a look at Bill Smith's comments and make up our own minds if OASIS have been delivering their promises: 'Our first priority is to ensure that the lists function correctly in transporting messages. ' http://www.xml.org/archives/xml-dev/2000/04/0542.html Karl and Norm have made significant efforts to improve this list, and that has to be acknowledged. As someone who has struggled with mail servers in the past, I can appreciate the complexities involved. Such an important community resource as xml-dev must have a robust, reliable server. I guess now is the time to consider again if that server should be an OASIS one. On the subject of community resources, might I suggest that we start collating a definitive, any platform, any language, set of free XML resources - perhaps on somewhere like sourceforge - a generic, freeware XDK that beginners and developers alike could download and benefit from? I started to do something like this with the Bio-XDK last year - you can maybe get an idea what I mean from looking at: http://ala.vsms.nottingham.ac.uk/biodom/bio-xdk/contents.html N.B. Please remember how out of date all the actual resources are! The point is that whilst it is great to have a list of links to places that all the software is available, it is also great to be able to download 1 tar.gz or .zip file with all the tools and info you need to get up and running. Just my .053 euros and all in MVVVHO.
