At Endeavor's last user group meeting, they started talking a lot about
web services and open standards. Roland Deitz implied that they are
trying to develop a working group to establish some standards. I don't
know how far it will go, but it sounds like it could be a good start.

actually have a go at working with the community would win a lot of
enthusiastic marketers.
