[Python-Dev] PEPS, version control, release intervals

It is possible; people have posted patches to Fnorb (which only add
tuples in the right places). Also, the omniORB CVS cooperates with
Python 2.0. There just is nothing that's officially released.

Depends on what you want to take as a starting point. For Fnorb, it
would be DSTC, although it appears to be "officially unmaintained" for
the moment. For omniORB, contact Duncan Grisby - he's usually quite
responsive. For ILU, it would be Bill Janssen; I'm sure he'll accept
patches. If you need something in a commercial environment (i.e. where
purchasing licenses is not an issue), feel free to contact me in
private :-)

In general, the DO SIG (do-sig@python.org) is a good place to discuss
both CORBA and SOAP.
