Dennis, ALL of the original people who worked on Axis2 from LSF/WSO2 are now in different places - most of them are in grad schools. One of the really great things that Axis2 has managed to do is attract a fairly broad community of people - IBM has contributed a lot even though they're quiet now.

Hi Dennis, First of all, it is not true that Axis2 work is lead by WSO2 any more .. that changed a long time ago. We're continuing to contribute but we're not the only contributors. IBM was contributing too but they seem to have take things in-house (again) but I may be wrong (hopefully someone

Hi Sanjiva, Whether officially led by WSO2 or not, certainly most of the direction of the project has come from people associated with WSO2 and/or the Sri Lanka university. Glen is, I believe, the current chair of the PMC, and was also the release manager for the 1.5 release. As to Axis2
