We are trying to pay more attention to newbie questions, but we all have day jobs :) Patch acceptance is moving along, just new contributors don't really know what to expect when contributing code to the project. We have partially addressed this with a new doc that still needs to be linked into the site.
I'm in the same boat, and I second that question. There doesn't seem to be much activity, newbie questions go unanswered on the lists (where are the archives, BTW?), and I've heard dark mutterings from some quarters about a lack of progress on patch acceptance etc.
Judging by the CVS Changelog, not much has happened since June. Has everyone moved onto SOAP or something?I think we have been slightly decadent when it comes to Changelog entries, as a lot of the bigger library changes are being kept out of CVS until they reach a certain level of appropriateness. You can get a better picture of the current activity of the project on Bugzilla at http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/query.cgi?product=XML-RPC .
The slow process of migrating to maven is complicating things too, as new changes are to be documented in changes.xml.
