Proposal for a WSRF Primer

I've loaded an outline of what I envisage could be developed into a Primer
for WSRF here:
http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/wsrf/download.php/9440  and
attached it to this email as html.

The idea of the Primer is really very simple - here's the gist of it:


      The  ‘Primer’  will  be  an introduction to the Web Services Resource
      Framework  (WSRF)  Specifications – a first source of information for
      those  new to the specifications and an explanation of why things are
      the  way  they  are.  It  is,  therefore, aimed at a wide audience of
      architects and developers, implementers and users. No prior knowledge
      of Web Services or the Framework will be assumed.

      What  is needed is to explain the existing landscape of Web Services,
      the  work on which WSRF builds, and the requirements which create the
      need  for  each  component  of  the specifications and to give simple
      examples  of  the  way  they  are  used  without  assuming background
      knowledge.

      Also,  since there are several specifications in the WSRF collection,
      it’s  useful  to  newcomers to have all of the material summarised in
      one document.


Hopefully we can dovetail this into Alan's AppNotes idea (outlined here:
http://www.oasis-open.org/archives/wsrf/200408/msg00000.html) which deals
with applications of the specs.  Comments are extremely welcome.
