This topic did not receive any reply on the "XML Commons" mailing
list so now trying on general@xml ...
Today we saw evidence of user confusion:

Ok so we seem have several federations:
- Stuff dealing with serving the web (in whatever sense): HTTPD,
James, PHP, AxKit, Tomcat...
- Stuff dealing with XML: Xerces-J, Xerces-C, Xerces-P, Xalan-J,
Xalan-C, FOP, XML Commons,...
- Stuff dealing with Java: Tomcat, Ant, Xerces-J, Xalan-J, FOP,
Jakarta Commons, ...
- Commons stuff: smaller libraries and building blocks for other
projects: Jakarta commons, XML commons, Apache Commons
Perhaps add a C/C++, PHP, Perl and whatever federations someone
feels necessary.
Ok, it's no longer a hierarchy, it's a network!

Good question.
How does this play into the idea of creating an XML federation of
projects? If the commons part was to be put into the Apache commons
project, could we still reference it within the XML project (or really
web site).
I am not intimately accross the commons stuff - what do others who are
involved think?
Cheers,
Berin
