Hi All, I'm considering forking the libxml project. Once again I can't get a hold of Sean Chittenden. So we can't get any new developers on the project with commit rights. No one, as far as I know, is actively patching. And no one is at the helm.
I am not a C coder, so really I'm not the best man for the job. But I am willing to coordinate and do everything I am able for the project. I really need a good, fast xml library for Ruby, and AFAIK bindings to libxml are the best choice. Unfortunately there are some serious issues with the current bindings --memory leaks and speed issues (I've seen libxml run slower than rexml, which really threw me for a loop). So I want to do something... So if you all agree, that a fork is a good idea, the question arises: would we be better off starting from scratch? (We can use some of the old code piecemeal as proves useful, of course.) If so, who wants to take up that challenge?
