Here is what I filed for this reporting period. I should have posted
here first of course for feedback, so please accept my apologies for
going about it backward.

## Description:
Apache Xalan exists to promote the use of XSLT. We view XSLT (Extensible
Stylesheet Language Transformations) as a compelling paradigm that transforms
XML documents, thereby facilitating the exchange, transformation, and
presentation of knowledge. The ability to transform XML documents into usable
information has great potential to improve the functionality and use of
information systems. We intend to build freely available XSLT processing
components in order to engender such improvements.

## Issues:
There are no issues requiring board attention.

## Membership Data:
Apache Xalan was founded 2004-09-30 (18 years ago)
There are currently 57 committers and 5 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 8:1.

Community changes, past quarter:

- No new committers. Last addition was Bill Blough on 2019-03-20.

## Project Activity:
We are in the process of sorting out the last remaining build issues before
releasing Xalan-Java 2.7.3. The driver is to update the shadowed copy of Apache
Commons BCEL 6.7.0.

## Community Health:
We've had nine Xalan-Java 2.7.3 release candidates so far, an indication of
the component having been inactive for a long time and losing
institutional knowledge. It is not clear what will happen after this release
as we've considered moving this component to the attic in the past. The
Xalan-C side of the house is not seeing much activity.
