Hello Stefan,

The last time I used xooki was when I did an Ivy release and that was 
long back. I had a look at it again and the git repo hosted at 
https://github.com/apache/ant-xooki hasn't seen any activity.

Dropping the https://github.com/apache/ant-xooki repo and using the one 
hosted in https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/ant/site/xooki/ during the 
Ivy release sounds fine to me.

This sounds fine too, but I suspect that it will need some work to 
migrate it to something else.
