Hi Brian,

I would like to understand better what you meant by "dread downloading" 
statement above
so my team and I can improve the freebXML Registry project.

If you are saying you dread downloading it because it is open source then
the same could be said for all the great open source software from Apache
JBoss and Source Forge.

Organizations including governments, fortune 500 companies, vertical 
standards
and SMEs are successfully using open source software including the freebXML
Registry software mentioned by Joe. Our current user base is topping 200 
mark
and list of users include the one noted here:

http://ebxmlrr.sourceforge.net/aboutFAQ/About_freebXML_Registry.html#Deployments

I am proud to say that the user community seems very pleased with the 
software based upon their regular
feedback and active participation in the ebxmlrr-tech mailing list:

http://ebxmlrr.sourceforge.net/mail-lists.html

I am also aware of at least 1 company that offer support contract for 
the software for a fee.

Thanks in advance for any clarifications that shed light on why you 
hesitate to use
the freebXML Registry project.

For those interested in freebXML Registry and ebXML Registry standards 
here are some
relevant links. A good place to start is [6]. Also for a comparison of 
UDDI and ebXML
Registry features see [8].
