Woden depends on XmlSchema and Axiom, so changes of above two projects
are important to us. I think the same matter is common for many WS sub
projects. If we all in a single dev list it's much more easy to have
common discussions. Only drawback is this will  increase the traffic
on common lists but this seems not a big issue to me.

+1 for merging dev and user lists.

Thanks !
