Re: WSIF status

hi Harshal,

you can find the latest WSIF build as a pre-release at this temporary
location http://people.apache.org/dist/ws/wsif/
and hopefully in near future we have a maintenance release 2.1 - if
there are any improvements or bugs please post to wsif-dev and submit an
issue to apache WSIF jira.

thanks,

alek
