Maybe it's useful to explain a bit the background of the mailing list
and SVN location changes. Axis and Axis2 were formerly subprojects of
the Apache Web Services project. This is why the old mailing list
addresses end with @ws.apache.org and the old SVN locations are under
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/webservices/. A couple of months ago,
Axis and Axis2 have been promoted to a top level project with domain
axis.apache.org and SVN location
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/axis/.

That required a migration of the mailing lists, and after careful
discussion we decided that this would be a good opportunity to split
the user list between Axis 1.x and Axis2. I understand that you would
prefer [email protected] for both projects because it's more
active, but most of the people subscribed to that list are only
interested in Axis2. From their point of view, it's better to keep the
Axis 1.x related discussions on a separate list. Thus, the updated
Axis documentation should refer to [email protected].

With respect to the SVN locations, things are clear for the source
code, which is now located at
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/axis/axis1/java/trunk/. However, the
site sources are still at
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/webservices/axis/trunk/site/src/java/,
i.e. under the Apache Web Services project. They need to be moved
somewhere under http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/axis/. Taking into
account the SVN structure that we established for the new Axis top
level project, I think that the new location should be
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/axis/axis1/java/site/. Maybe Tom can
give his opinion here?

Another thing that we need to figure out is how to publish this site
under http://axis.apache.org, but that is the same issue as for Axis2
(which has not yet published any new version of the site since to
promotion to a TLP).
