Hi -

POI devs. Should we discuss quickly what it would mean to take on XMLBeans as a 
product of POI?

(1) Move code to a POI repository.
(2) Build.
(3) Get control of website.
(4) Release.

Alternatively others have suggested the following:
(A) Take XMLBeans to the Incubator doing the move and asking dependent projects 
if any dev would like to participate.
(B) Take XMLBeans to the Commons and make it a sub-module of Commons.

I think we have some urgency to move forward. It would help to have a 25 word 
description about why the project absolutely needs to do this.

Let me know.

Regards,
Dave
