Regarding community-xml
I already have a working version oatched from latest hg to run with 11.3, including update of all forms to GroupLayout Swing style and some theming prototype to make it look smooth with FlatLaf Dark... So count me in here community-uml Quite large. Got a running poc with 11.3 with no problems... some ui and editor stying feels weird.. Not willing to take a lead, but would be available for questions and support contrib/python Poc with 11.3 running, even detects python 3 as a platform - with all the python hype I think from an apache perspective we cannot let this pass Hope there is broad interest here... not sure about ruby... sounds probably interesting from an ASF perspective but this is way put of my comfort zone. need more time to look through other stuff in contrib... there may be pearls hidden in the dark.. Hope to rescue a lot of the stuff... Thanks for listening -Sven Geertjan Wielenga <geert...@apache.org> schrieb am Di., 11.
