I'd recommend that we simply delete the list of projects,
and say something about "various open source software provide
..."
The original text was intended to say something specific: that Globus
provided a particularly high-quality and widely used implementation of
many OGSA-relevant specifications and thus played a particularly
important role in OGSA work. (This text was proposed by Mark Linesch, by
the way, not by me.) Clearly, others didn't like to see Globus called out
in this way, and so the single mention of Globus has grown into a list.
Of course, once you have a list, it will be always be incomplete.
Further, any inclusion in an OGSA roadmap implies some form of
endorsement, and I don't think we have enough knowledge about all of the
listed software to know whether they all provide robust implementations
of OGSA-relevant specifications, as is implied. For both those reasons, I
recommend that we delete the list.
