Here is a draft of the board report I plan on filling before the 14th,
all feedback is welcome.

## 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, 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 to engender such improvements.

## Project Status:
Current project status: The project is ongoing with low activity.
Issues for the board: None.

## Membership Data:
Apache Xalan was founded 2004-09-30 (21 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 PMC members. The last addition was Joseph Kessselman on 2023-08-07.
- No new committers. The last addition was Joseph Kessselman on 2023-06-29.

## Project Activity:
Our goal is to provide, as soon as time permit,s a 2.x maintenance release and
a
3.0.0 pre-release, labeled as an alpha, beta, or milestone. But, there has been
little progress this reporting period.

## Community Health:
Our community activity is low, but we do want to create releases. There are
ongoing discussions on the mailing list and progress is tracked through Jira
tickets. The metrics in wizard show there has been no coding activity but
there has been work done in forks/branches. Some of our
speed bumps is updating our builds from Ant to Maven.
