[AXIS] Request for a new repository, mailing list

[Sam Ruby <ru...@us.ibm.com>]

Background:

The xml-soap project was created in anticipation of the SOAP standard being
adopted by the W3C.  During the course of the adoption,the name of the
protocol was changed from SOAP to the rather nondescript name of XML
Protocol (XP).

At the same time, the codebase which served as the initial seed used to
create the community has served it's purpose.  The consensus is that it is
time to create a new code base, reusing many of the original ideas and much
of the code, but reorganized around a new and more extendable architecture.
This is not controversial, and has the full backing of the original
development team.

So, at this time, I would like to request a new CVS module (to be named
AXIS) be created, as well as an axis-dev mailing list.  A axis-user mailing
list is not required at this time.  The new name is only intented to
decouple ourselves from the naming of the standard, the mission of the
subproject remains the same.

The initial committers for this should be:

   brian, rubys, avahe, cnelson, duftler, dug, gdaniels, jacek, jmsnell,
   kmitchell, matkovitsg, neyama, sanjiva, wcloeten

Note that this is not the full list of current committers, but represents
only the active participants at this time.  This is not meant as a punitive
measure - if any of the current committters express an intention to become
active, they will be welcomed.

+1 on this... but I just realized something... Steve's not on the committers
list yet!  I'd like to officially nominate him considering the considerable
amount of work he's done for the project this far.
