Hi all,

With the XML project appearing to be slowly shutting down (Xindice is n=
ow
the only project left there) I think it's time we fully moved XML Commo=
ns
over to Xerces. In my opinion these changes are long overdue.

Here's what I'm proposing:

=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

1) Move the website to xerces.apache.org

Proposing the new site address to be http://xerces.apache.org/xml-commo=
ns
and set up a permanent redirect to it for old links to
http://xml.apache.org/commons

2) Move the download area to http://www.apache.org/dist/xerces

Releases would be located under
http://www.apache.org/dist/xerces/xml-commons with a permanent redirect=
 set
up for links to the old one http://www.apache.org/dist/xml/commons

3) Move the 2 XML Commons mailing lists on to @xerces.apache.org

[email protected] --> [email protected]
[email protected] --> merge into the existing
[email protected]

All of Xerces' other sub-projects share the same commits list. Hoping t=
his
will improve oversight / awareness of activities in XML Commons in the =
rest
of the project.

4) Migrate XML Commons from Bugzilla to JIRA

All of Xerces' other sub-projects track their issues in JIRA. Occasiona=
lly
issues are opened against XML Commons which should have really gone to
Xerces-J or Xalan. Right now we return these as invalid and ask the
reporter to reopen against the correct project in JIRA. With this move =
we
can transfer the issue to the right JIRA project on their behalf.

5) Move XML Commons to Xerces SVN

Proposing that we move this out from 'xml/commons' to
'xerces/xml-commons' (with no change to the committer list).

=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

I believe that covers everything. If no one objects I'll start the proc=
ess
of moving things over.

Thanks.
