RE: [PHP-DEV] Re: [PEAR-DEV] SOAP, XMLRPC and WSDL

Shane also did not like the term and I can see where you all are coming from. But I think the mailinglist should cover a broader scope than just soap and this is usually done under the name "web services" php-xml-based-rpc@ this could mislead to making it sound xml-rpc centric and its not really php-rpc@ either and this would maybe not be a name that people would immediately point their soap answers to ... all in all "web services" maybe a non programmers choice (maybe even "marketing" guys choice), but do we have a better name to wrap these technologies into? php-webservice-tools@ might be better to make clear that this list is more about the tools than about discussing actual web services .. anyways I can live with php-soap@ as well .. so who ever is in charge make the call or let the head honchos about this topic (like shane or brad) deside what the prefer :-) Best regards, Lukas Smith smith@dybnet.de _______________________________ DybNet Internet Solutions GbR Reuchlinstr. 10-11 Gebäude 4 1.OG Raum 6 (4.1.6) 10553 Berlin Germany Tel. : +49 30 83 22 50 00 Fax : +49 30 83 22 50 07 www.dybnet.de info@dybnet.de > -----Original Message----- > From: Rasmus Lerdorf [mailto:rasmus@php.net] > Sent: Thursday, May 23, 2002 11:08 PM > To: Andi Gutmans > Cc: Shane Caraveo; php-dev@lists.php.net > Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] Re: [PEAR-DEV] SOAP, XMLRPC and WSDL > > I really don't like the term Web Services.
