Towards an Axis 1.5 Release

[Bjorn Townsend <bj...@sourcelabs.com>]

All,

Earlier today someone brought up the question of future Axis  
development and support, and Dims mentioned the possibility of doing  
an Axis 1.5. I've long been interested in seeing another Axis1  
release, and as my employer supports an open source stack that  
includes Axis, they're willing to let me devote some time to working  
on driving that. So I've combed through the (almost 700) unresolved  
issues in the Axis JIRA of Major priority or higher and come up with  
a list of issues that either have patches already that do not appear  
to have been evaluated/committed, or look like they would be  
important things to fix prior to a 1.5 release.  I took the liberty  
of creating a page on the ASF wiki to track Axis 1.5 release  
planning, and posted what I came up with over there.

http://wiki.apache.org/ws/FrontPage/Axis/Axis1%2e5ReleasePlan

The page is broken down by issue type, and further gives recommended  
actions for each issue identified.

I'm hoping that by doing this I can help stir up some interest in  
doing a 1.5 release. I'm eager to participate in it by working on  
fixes, writing unit tests and running the unit tests to evaluate new  
patches.  If there's anything else I can do to help with a 1.5  
release, let me know.

In the meantime, it would be great to refine this some more, so any  
suggestions or opinions on the plan would be very much appreciated.

Thanks,
Bjorn
