-1.
I'm voting -1 not because of the actual action of creating a TLP for Axis2
but rather because of the process by which this discussion has ensued. The
discussion has been unpleasant and downright anti-social / anti-community
style and we appear to be pushing forward to fix some problem that is
purportedly going to get fixed by this action without any real basis for
such belief.
I also agree with Chinthaka about keeping Axiom & Neethi too as part of
the TLP - being part of the TLP has no implication on usage in other
projects etc. and I want it kept together because that's where the core
community that developed those and maintain those live.
So, a disappointed -1 from me (binding).

Folks:
Discussion seems to have died down about the TLP proposal, and I think
we heard a lot of valuable viewpoints during the conversation. At this
point, I think it's time to VOTE on the idea and see where we're at.
I've described what we're voting on on the wiki page [1], and will
include it here as well:
* Restructure Axis2 as an independent TLP, containing subprojects that
*directly* relate to Axis2 - these include all the Modules and
Transports. This ends up being a reasonably sized and well-focused project.
* Once Axis2 is split out, we'll move the "sub-sub-projects" inside
WS-Commons (Axiom, Neethi, XmlSchema) up to be WS subprojects. This will
also involve making sure that the SVN authorizations are appropriately
granular.
* We'll then do a review of the remaining projects inside WS and based
on that, decide whether any further action is needed. Such actions might
include promoting more projects to TLPs, or retiring stagnant codebases.
Please chime in with your VOTE on this (and indicate binding/non-binding
depending on whether you are a PMC member).
Here's my +1 (binding).
Thanks,
