Re: Getting XMLBeans out of Attic

Hi,

sorry for not replying immediately. We have now 7 persons who would be 
willing to join a new PMC:

Jacob Danner (already committer)
Jerry Sy
Pascal Heus
Jack Gager
Harring Figueiredo
Serkan Tas
Daniel Lübke (me)

I have talked to the Apache ODE PMC Chair Tammo van Lessen how we can 
get things running again, i.e. which Apache rules are there etc. I will 
keep you updated.

Are there any other committers (except for Jacob) who would continue to 
contribute to this project?

Regards,
Daniel
