I'm actually comfortable with the makeup. I think it makes sense that the projects of the XML federation are somehow connected to the XML project, though it doesn't necessarily have to be through PMC membership. But it's certainly not bad as it is, as long as the PMC members are responsive. > 2. Should we re-create the charter given the new status of the project? Yes, this is necessary. > 3.

Well, the easiest way is through the general mailing list and a Wiki. And, of course, we need to update the site accordingly. When we start categorizing/cataloguing the individual projects into groups and advertize, people/projects will automatically start coming. 4.

I've still got a pretty long todo list for XML Graphics and a lot of work with FOP and a few other projects. That leaves me little room to help out here, I'm afraid, though I would like to. Maybe we could do some work during the ApacheCon EU Hackathon. Who's there? I am.
