Re: [AXIS/WSIF] proposed new WSIF home page URL

Why not http://wsif.apache.org/ ?

Now that I have your attention... ;-)

The direction that the ASF is heading is that each community becomes its own separate top level ASF project. Ant is such a community that recently got approved as a top level project.

So the question on the table should be whether WSIF wants to be its own separate community, or part of a larger community. If it is the latter, then I seriously doubt that the scope of that community is "XML".

The process is relatively straightforward, and I will facilitate. The essential ingredients are defining the scope and collecting the names of active committers who support the idea.

P.S. Votes for http://xml.apache.org/whatever should be done by the XML PMC. http://xml.apache.org/whoweare.html
