If I remember correctly, the conclusion of the discussion about the fate of Axis 1.x was that the Attic [1] focuses on top level projects that no longer have a community. For subprojects that are no longer maintained, it's up to the respective TLP to decide what to do with them. With respect to Axis 1.x, I think that the implicit decision was to keep the status quo (i.e. to simply leave the code in Subversion [2] and to have at least download links reachable from the Axis TLP home page) until somebody volunteers to do some maintenance work on the code.
If Dilly wants to contribute to this, then I would propose the following procedure: * Create and/or update the relevant JIRA issues [1] and attach patches with the changes. * Periodically send to [email protected] a list of JIRA issues with patches to be reviewed and applied by Tom (or somebody else).
