Summary - WAS Re: XML-RPC need maintenance :

[Siegfried Goeschl <si...@it20one.at>]

Hi folks,

I try to sum up the various mails regarding the ongoing maintainance of 
XML-RPC

CURRENT SITUATION
======================================================

+) The XML-RPC project doesn't seem to be actively maintained - last 
website from Nov 2003
+) The unresolved issues on JIRA/Bugzilla dates back to March 2002 and 
I'm not sure if they are kept in synch
+) There are also a few patches floating around in the mailing list 
which never made it into CVS


POTENTIAL MAINTAINERS
======================================================

After a various mails there seem to be no objections to resurrected the 
XML-RPC project.  Having said that Idon't know the roles of the people 
voting +1 ....

+) Jochen Wiedmann (somewhere a Jakarta Committer)
+) Henri Gomez (Tomcat Committer)
+) Siegfried Goeschl (Turbine/Fulcrum Committer)


TODO
======================================================

+) contact the PMC (is it pmc@ws.apache.org ?) to get a decision about 
new committers
+) create a public roadmap of patches to be applied to 2.0 in JIRA
+) release a XML-RPC 2.0 without changes the API to avoid breaking 
existing applications


MISC
======================================================

I uploaded the new website to 
http://people.apache.org/~sgoeschl/xmlrpc/index.html

Thanks in advance,

Siegfried Goeschl

Hi Jochen,

I'm too happy if some of the committers are back .... :-)

I would like to note, that there seem to be still two committers who 
seem to read the list and respond: Andrew Evers (see various mails from 
today) and Daniel Rall.

In other words, IMO it is up to them to decide, whether they want 
additional committers (and which) or not. The possibility to cast a vote 
is given.
