Hi,
I am sorry to write this, but it seems about time.
Within the last year, the ws-xmlrpc project has definitely been the
least active of all ws projects. Actually, there has been almost no
activity, the exception being some truly minor patches.
However, this applies to the committers only: In fact, there have been
several and nontrivial patches from the user community. Indeed,
ws-xmlrpc seems to be in serious use and interest from the community is
high.
Within the last weeks, there have been some threads discussing the
topic. See, for example,
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=110572451100001&r=1&w=2
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=111209377300002&r=1&w=2
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=111174293000001&r=1&w=2
and, in particular, as a summary
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=111217433600003&r=1&w=2
Three Apache committers (Siegfried Goeschl, Henri Gomez, and myself)
have offered to take over maintenance and/or further development of the
project. The only replies by current ws-xmlrpc committers have been
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=xmlrpc-dev&m=110746584315959&w=2
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=xmlrpc-dev&m=111222153313692&w=2
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=xmlrpc-dev&m=111221953406888&w=2
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=xmlrpc-dev&m=111218050423494&w=2
None of this looks like the situations is going to change. In
particular, there seems to be absolutely no interest to gain additional
committers.
Whats your opinion?
Jochen
