Hi Udayanga, Welcome to the mailing list.
I assume you've already browsed through the project ideas [1] posted in JIRA. The project idea for XPointer has some similarities to the one for SCD, utilizing and expanding on the existing Xerces' XPath parser / evaluator to cover a subset of streamable XPath expressions for XInclude. There's also the possibility of another SCD project as proposed by Sandy: returning the "canonical SCP of a schema component (if available). i.e. given a schema component and the XSModel that contains the component, return the SCP (along with the necessary namespace bindings)". This would be complimentary to the project that Ishan has been preparing for. If you're up for a challenge there are still a few major features left that we've yet to implement in XML Schema 1.1. xs:override [2] and the new complex type restriction [3] rules come to mind. Thanks.
