I sent this proposal out about a week ago. Only got positive feedback from
folks so going to take that as a thumbs up to start implementing it.

Thanks.

&gt; Hi all,<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; With the XML project appearing to be slowly shutting down (Xindice <br>
&gt; is now the only project left there) I think it's time we fully moved<br>
&gt; XML Commons over to Xerces. In my opinion these changes are long overdue.<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; Here's what I'm proposing:<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; ==================================<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; 1) Move the website to xerces.apache.org<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; Proposing the new site address to be <a href="http://xerces.apache.org/xml-commons">http://xerces.apache.org/xml-commons</a><br>
&gt; and set up a permanent redirect to it for old links to http://<br>
&gt; xml.apache.org/commons<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; 2) Move the download area to <a href="http://www.apache.org/dist/xerces">http://www.apache.org/dist/xerces</a><br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; Releases would be located under <a href="http://www.apache.org/dist/xerces/xml-commons">http://www.apache.org/dist/xerces/xml-commons</a><br>
&gt; with a permanent redirect set up for links to the old one http://<br>
&gt; www.apache.org/dist/xml/commons<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; 3) Move the 2 XML Commons mailing lists on to @xerces.apache.org<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; [email protected] --&gt; [email protected]<br>
&gt; [email protected] --&gt; merge into the existing <br>
&gt; [email protected]<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; All of Xerces' other sub-projects share the same commits list. <br>
&gt; Hoping this will improve oversight / awareness of activities in XML <br>
&gt; Commons in the rest of the project.<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; 4) Migrate XML Commons from Bugzilla to JIRA<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; All of Xerces' other sub-projects track their issues in JIRA. <br>
&gt; Occasionally issues are opened against XML Commons which should have<br>
&gt; really gone to Xerces-J or Xalan. Right now we return these as <br>
&gt; invalid and ask the reporter to reopen against the correct project <br>
&gt; in JIRA. With this move we can transfer the issue to the right JIRA <br>
&gt; project on their behalf.<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; 5) Move XML Commons to Xerces SVN<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; Proposing that we move this out from 'xml/commons' to 'xerces/xml-<br>
&gt; commons' (with no change to the committer list).<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; ==================================<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; I believe that covers everything. If no one objects I'll start the <br>
&gt; process of moving things over.<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; Thanks.<br>
