OASIS have announced the Web Services Secure Exchange (WS-SX) Technical Committee that brings together users and vendors to refine and finalize a set of specifications based on three initial contributions, WS-SecureConversation, WS-SecurityPolicy and WS-Trust.

The new OASIS Web Services Secure Exchange (WS-SX) Technical Committee brings together users and vendors in an open process to refine and finalize a set of specifications based on three initial contributions, WS-SecureConversation, WS-SecurityPolicy and WS-Trust. Other contributions and changes to these input documents will be accepted for consideration without prejudice or restriction and evaluated based on technical merit.

The Apache Pluto Community has announced the first general availability release of Apache Pluto - Pluto 1.0.1. Pluto is the reference implementation of the Java Portlet Specification (JSR-168).

If not, why not?
