According to the XAP status page, http://incubator.apache.org/projects/xap.html the copyright and distribution rights have not been verified, so IMHO the repository has not been vetted.
I think we should disable svn access entirely.On a different note, I agree that suspension isn't the right term. I'd go with retirement or dormancy.

And we don't want to miss commit messages. It is best to structureally disable the resources than to trust in lack of use.--- Noel--------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
