We are just finishing 0.5 of WSCF and try to figure out the feature set for 0.6 already.
One thing we want to add is a visualization component for WSDL interface descriptions - because a picture tells more than a thousand words. And everybody should be able to grok the e.g. Google WSDL more easily when looking at an (interactive) graphical representation instead of staring at angle brackets.
Here is our question: which kind of diagram do you think would be most appropriate to visualize a WSDL inside Visual Studio .NET (i.e. the essence of WSDL, not every single detail of WSDL - but this should be an obvious fact)? You can leave your comments here or contact us directly - and maybe send in some hand drawings ;)
