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 !
