XMLBeans Project Reboot Proposal - Volunteers Needed

Hi All

As many of you will know, the Apache XMLBeans project is currently 
destined for the Apache Attic, in large part because the previous PMC [1]
(Project Management Committee) is no longer around to provide the required 
levels of oversight of the project.

It looks like there are still plenty of people around though who want to 
help with XMLBeans and keep it going, which is great! The next step is to 
take a proposal to the Apache Incubator to reboot the project. This would 
be for the Incubator to help the community develop into a new PMC, such as 
learning more about the Apache Way - our meritocratic way of developing 
open source software.

I've put together an initial proposal to the IPMC for this, which is 
available at:
    https://wiki.apache.org/incubator/XMLBeansProposal

At this point, we need people to volunteer to take part in the rebooted 
project! If you'd like to help develop the code, develop the website, 
develop documentation etc, please sign up! To do so, just go to the 
proposal, edit the wiki, and list yourself in the table near the bottom. 
(Existing IPMC members please sign up to help mentor!)

People may also want to read through the Incubator Guides, which explain a 
lot more about the process, the way that software gets developed at 
Apache, the importance of the community etc. That's all at:
    http://incubator.apache.org/guides/index.html

The main thing for now though is for people to sign up on the proposal to 
help! Sign up, join in, help out :)

Great! First thing, which I see you've already done, is to list yourself 
in the Initial Committers list
     https://wiki.apache.org/incubator/XMLBeansProposal#Initial_Committers

Secondly, assuming the IPMC approves the reboot, everyone will need to 
have an iCLA on file before they can get an account as a committer. It 
only takes a short while to read the iCLA and send one in, so it may be 
worth people going ahead and doing that. Details are at
http://www.apache.org/licenses/#clas . Once you've submitted an iCLA, you 
can update the committers list iCLA column on the wiki to say you've 
submitted yours!
