Hi all: June approaches, and with it another WS PMC board report. After the March report, we were again asked by the board what's up with our project's organization. As such, I'd like to re-open this discussion here, in hopes that we can achieve a real consensus this time around, whatever the outcome. PLEASE NOTE - we all have opinions, and while we certainly would like to sway others to our point of view, let's make sure that we keep the conversation respectful and considerate of each other's ideas (no matter how totally insane they might sound to us. :) ). Toward this end I've spun up a wiki page: http://wiki.apache.org/ws/FrontPage/WebServicesPMCReorg I'd like to record the proposals here, as well as a bullet-item list of points that people think are important to consider in the discussion. I did a very quick start of a couple of items, please feel free to jump in and add / edit stuff. If it looks like we're heading towards some kind of agreement in the next couple of weeks, that's awesome. If it appears we can't reach consensus, I'd love to hear ideas as to how we should proceed - but for now, let's just talk about it again and see what comes up. Thanks, --Glen Your friendly neighborhood PMC chair
