Re: Update from board regarding our oversight of WS project.

Team,

Looks like we missed the mark by a mile!!!!!. I am
thoroughly disappointed.

We have 2 projects with No volunteers and 8 projects with
*NO*
reports. If the volunteers are not interested anymore,
Please appeal
to someone else to take up the responsibility. At this
point, i will
recommend that we archive jaxme and xmlrpc (after a release
like
Jochen mentioned) and if the situation persists (with no
reports from
the other projects), then we should do the archive the other
projects
as well.

Project  - Volunteer/Report
----------------------
axis     - Yes/Yes
axis2    - Yes/No
commons  - Yes/No
jaxme    - No/No
juddi    - Yes/Yes
kandula  - Yes/Yes
muse     - Yes/No
rampart  - Yes/Yes
sandesha - Yes/No
savan    - Yes/No
scout    - Yes/Yes
synapse  - Yes/Yes
woden    - Yes/Yes
wsif     - Yes/No
wss4j    - Yes/Yes
xmlrpc   - No/No

Thanks,
dims
