Please undo the movement of xml-security from xml.apache.org to ws.apache.org

[Christian Geuer-Pollmann <ge...@apache.org>]

Dear PMC members of (xml|ws).apache.org, 

hereby the committers [1] of the Apache XML-Security project officially
request to move the Apache XML-Security from the ws.apache.org subproject
back to the xml.apache.org project. 

In the past, we all have not realized that the resolution mail [2] meant
that the code base and responsibilities were going from xml to ws. First of
all, there had been no voting process on security-dev@xml.apache.org to
support such a movement. All that stuff happend during the last few days
without being clear what happened and why. 

The XML-Security project implements (at the moment) only W3C
recommendations which are generally XML-related. The Web Services community
is utilizing these specs to add security to web services, but it's only a
user of XML-Security. Nevertheless, it is not primary related to web
services. 

So we kindly ask to take back this move which had not been approved by the
XML-Security committers. 

Kind regards,
Christian
