Groove Web Services

Jon Udell has plenty to say about the forthcoming Groove Web Services:

The results are nothing short of spectacular.

As we watched GWS technical lead John Burkhardt build a WinForms GWS client in Visual Studio .Net, we realized that we needed no further explanation to do exactly the same thing in wxPython on a Macintosh or in PHP on a Web page.

Good writeup, and kudos to John and Matt and the team for building what looks like a really powerful, clean, smart piece of glue. Unfortunately I've had no time to build anything with this stuff yet (although I played briefly with some of John's sample code, which will be available in the GWS GDK when it ships). Looking forward to putting some Groove-aware pieces of PHP or Perl onto this (linux) webserver as soon as.
