The mission of the MQ project is to improve members effectiveness by fostering an atmosphere of information sharing with a focus on all aspects of WebSphere MQ and WebSphere Message Broker and their use in an Enterprise Service Bus and within a Service Oriented Architecture.
 
WebSphere MQ

WebSphere MQ provides the reliable, proven messaging backbone for SOA connectivity, as the ubiquitous, multi-purpose data transport for your enterprise service bus (ESB).
It provides messaging and queuing services on many platforms from mainframes through servers to clients. It provides support for Commercial Messaging, Messaging Brokering, Workflow Computing, Cooperative Processing, Mail, Mobile messaging and much more.
On 1st April 2007 IBM announced WebSphere MQ V7.0 with highlights:-
* Enhanced ease-of-use for publish-and-subscribe and Java Message Service (JMS) messaging
* Enhanced usability with graphical configuration of publish-and-subscribe and JMS messaging through Eclipse-based MQ Explorer 
* Enhanced publish-and-subscribe performance, increasing throughput
* Enhanced JMS performance, increasing selectors and listener throughput with improved latency
* Extended verbs and behaviors for MQI programming interface, improving developer productivity
* Enhanced WebSphere MQ clients, increasing nonpersistent throughput and increasing resilience and availability
* Web 2.0 support to help create a richer user experience by bridging HTTP applications with Ajax and REST to the WebSphere MQ messaging backbone

WebSphere Message Broker

WebSphere Message Broker is built for universal connectivity and transformation in heterogeneous IT environments.
It distributes information and data generated by business events in real time to people, applications, and devices throughout your extended enterprise and beyond.
On 9th October 2007, IBM announced V6.1 of WebSphere Message Broker for availability on November 22, 2007, this includes significant new function that satisfies major client requirements.

* Ease-of-use improvements
* Enhanced support for service-oriented architecture (SOA)
* Extended connectivity
* Improved administration and system management facilities
* Extended platform support
* Improved performance
* Coexistence and migration support
