I'd like to make a proposal that I think would the WS community and would like peoples thoughts on the matter:
I think it would be good for the community to combine all the *-...@ws mailing lists (and likely general@ as well) in to a single d...@ws.apache.org. Likewise, combine all the *-u...@ws lists into a single us...@. Probably a single commits list as well. I really think having separate lists has caused the community to fracture into small little eco systems with very little knowledge of what is happening in the rest of the community propogating from project to project. Doing releases is hard as the other PMC members may not be following the other projects at all. By combining them back into a few, broader lists, that should make it easier to follow what the entire community is doing. Once everyone really gets a feel for things and are communicating with each other, I think it will be easier to figure out what can/should be spun off, retired to attic, etc... Also, I'd like the new lists changed to be moderated lists. Moderated lists are much easer for new people to get involved in, especially through places like nabble.
