John Bristowe continues to experiment with Groove WebServices. He's now connecting WS-forums and Groove : I wonder if this proof-of-concept can now target Tim Knip's remote Groove Access Point, which publishes a public discussion to a Web page via his (very cool) grooveInterop Tool for Radio Userland. *SHRUG*   A very possible scenario would be have both sets of SOAP endpoints (that is, WS-Forums and GWS) operate over a fully-duplex "virtual channel"; have WS-Forums invoke the GWS Discussion Web service when a new post (AKA, discussion item) is created and vice versa. In the scenario presented above, the WinForm simply acts as "go-between"; its role is (ultimately) redundant. Ideally, we want this model communicating endpoint-to-endpoint, which shouldn't too difficult to get up & running.
