Just few quick thoughts from me. I'll be happy and willing to remove my @author name from all Xalan xslt 3.0 and corresponding tests code that I've written on Xalan dev repos branch xalan-j_xslt3.0. May be that, may help others little but more willing to consider those code files that I've written to view, review and possibly to be modified by other Xalan committers. I'm fine to have my @author name removed or retained as they're currently written within specific Xalan code files. My other naive feeling is that, we should keep maintaining for long term Xalan dev repos branches master (which should have XSLT 1.0 implementation) and xalan-j_xslt3.0 (which should have in-progress XSLT 3.0 implementation). I'll (or, anyone else as well from Xalan community) as well be happy and willing to modify XSLT 3.0 and XPath implementation code on the Xalan dev repos branch xalan-j_xslt3.0 as per any implementation or quality feedback from anyone within Xalan community. Please advise. -- Regards, Mukul Gandhi --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@xalan.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@xalan.apache.org
