I wish I knew. Maybe if some of the WS committers would spend less time discussing TLP graduations and more time reviewing patches and proposing committer votes......... ;-) Seriously, I think getting Axis2 out to a TLP will help a bit. That would make the stuff and people that are "left" a bit more focused on the non-axis2 things and we can more accurately gauge what is going on. I actually think the promotion of transports into ws-commons has actually hindered things a bit. The flood of commits and messages and stuff related to the transports has kind of drowned out anything else. That said, the promotion was probably a good thing long term, just the noise level for the other projects are a bit higher now. MAYBE having separate dev lists for each of the sub-projects could help so transport related traffic wouldn't drown out XmlSchema traffic and such. (and easier to filter on as well) For example, for CXF, I could care less about any Axiom related stuff (we don't use it) or the transports, but stuff for XmlSchema and Neethi are interesting to me. Then again, I'm not a WS committer or PMC member or anything (interested lurker/observer) and only follow things here "part time" and am not completely in tune with all the happenings. -- Daniel Kulp [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://dankulp.com/blog
