+1 for creating a new project called webservices.apache.org and migrating Apache Axis, Apache SOAP, WSIF, WSIL etc. under that as components.Let me expand upon that last statement. Jakarta is an umbrella PMC with lots of pieces. One such piece was Avalon, which itself had a lot of pieces. Both resulted in serious community and oversight issues. I can provide more detailed background if necessary, but sufficie it to say that there is a strong desire that any new PMC that is created addresses some of these issues.
That means there would be one set of committers, one PMC, one set
of rules/guidelines etc..
The first thing we need to consider is whether there are WSIF developers and Axis developers as separate concepts. Example, does a WSIF developer need to submit a patch to WSDL2Java in order to address one of "their" needs, or is WSDL2Java community property?
