Lars,
"And Lawrence, was there any point in your message asking if it was a
mistake?"
My point was to state the obvious, that the Apache WS community has lost a
lot of mailing list subscribers since merging all of the lists (I don't
know if this was expected), and to start discussion on whether this merge
was a mistake and should be undone.
Moving the commits to another list should alleviate some of the pain.
Whether it will be enough to stop the exodus of subscribers remains to be
seen.
As far as I'm concerned, losing interested people's attention is counter
productive to an open source (or any) project.

Re: Welcome to dev@ws.apache.org
Hi
I originally signed up for the XML-RPC mailing list because that was the
project that was and still is interesting to me. In the last couple of
days however I have been bombarded with SPAM from all kinds of Apache
projects that I am not interested in at all. At some point someone asked
if it was a mistake to merge the Apache mailing lists and a couple of
people replied that they actually think that it indeed was a big
mistake and that was it, no action whatsoever.
So my question is very simple, is there some professional person that
can see that it was a very bad idea to merge the mailing lists and is
willing to undo this mistake, or do we people that don't what our
mailboxes filled-up with unrelated SPAM, have to unsubscribe?
And Lawrence, was there any point in your message asking if it was a
mistake?
