Hi Noel, (I worked with Jeremy on the proposal, and this seems like a good place to chime in)
If by "merge", you mean consolidate the projects organizationally, we debated approaching e.g. the WS PMC with this first but decided that it ultimately make more sense to just come to the incubator and have the discussion here. My take is that the existing codebases involved and the shorter/medium term problems they're trying to solve are distinct enough that it makes sense to let them evolve somewhat independently while encouraging opportunistic integration.. having had some brief exchanges w/ Dims & Sanjiva re: the relationship between this proposal, Synapse, ServiceMix etc, we certainly plan to take advantage of as many existing projects as possible. If given the opportunity and some time, it turns out to make sense to most of the folks involved that the Tuscany work ought to live under an existing PMC or be rolled into an existing project, that's great. Specifically, I think the goal of providing a language/platform neutral service assembly layer that's backed by an extensible set of app developer models (with a shared conceptual framework) for specific languages/technologies, is something distinct here. Stuff like figuring out how to work with e.g. ServiceMix being built around JBI, a Java-centric standard, is definitely in the plan and seems like the kind of work that would be appropriate to do while incubating.
