Hi Carl
This sounds like a great proposal.
I just have a couple of questions.

Blaze provides multiple language implementations of the Advanced
Messaged Queuing Protocol (AMQP) specification and related
technologies including PGM, transaction management, queuing,
distribution, security, management and heterogeneous multi-platform
support for messaging (links to these specifications are in the
"Initial Source" section of this proposal.) Blaze’s overall goal is
to create an open and interoperable implementation for messaging
which implements the emerging AMQP specification, in keeping with
the philosophy of the Foundation. This implementation will provide
a messaging solution that will be language and platform agnostic by
using a well defined wire specification. Providing both libraries
for the framing and protocol in addition to brokers in both Java
and C/C++ allows for integration with Apache and non-Apache
projects in a manner that facilitates heterogeneous deployment with
full interoperability for SOA & distributed systems.
The seed code for the project will consist of in-progress C/C++ and
Java implementations of the AMQP specification that we intend to
continue development on in conjunction with other Apache
communities. More information on the scope of the seed code can be
found in subsequent sections of this proposal.
i'm a bit clueless here.
what exactly is blaze.
is it a reference implementation of AMQP
or a server which uses AMQP to communicate?
is the server multiple language
are there any other products out there which use AMQP?
=== Alignment: ===
An initial implementation has been written in Java and C++, which
will be refactored into this project to form the initial code
base. We have had a few exploratory conversations about
integration with individuals of other communties such as Apache
Geronimo, Tuscany, ActiveMQ, Fedora and ObjectWeb's Celtix and
hope to work towards future collaboration with these communities.
color me confused here.
isn't Active MQ an alternative to Blaze/AMQP ?
If this project was accepted would Apache have *2* different
messaging servers? which use different protocols ?
As Blaze’s broad goal is to create a standardized, widely
available, and interoperable messaging solution based on the AMQP
protocol, there are numerous potential collaboration opportunities
with many other Apache projects including: * Transport support for
Geronimo * Interoperability integration with ActiveMQ(JMS)
if blaze's goal is to create a standardized widely available and
interoperable messaging solution (you forgot enterprise class) why is
it creating a new one, and not using JMS ?
