And WS consists of three main project as well , which is Apache SOAP , Axis1 and Axis2. Specially Axis1 and Axis2 has a number of sub projects as well. So managing them efficient manner is a challenging job , and specially for the PMC chair it is lot of work. Therefore it is always a good idea to modularize them. > Take a look at our web site(s), take a look at our release > schedules(s) - for all projects, take a look at our bug tracker(s). > Does anyone see that we are doing an excellent job? > I am sorry I do not understand what do you mean by bug tracker , is that the problem of number of issues or is it a problem of we are not taking care of them ? > We need to gather momentum, going TLP is an excellent way to do that. > A small focused team that is working on a single goal of getting a > good set of Axis2 related projects going is i think the right way to > go.

So it was so easy for us to do all those , but now we work on Axis2 and answer the mail when we get some free time. Anyway I agree that there are some improvements that we need to do.
