I shifted out of libxml to the (much) slower REXML and an ad-hoc
over-the-network Java based XSD validation system. I would love to get
libxml-ruby working again. A lot of my projects will depend on it.
Dan, how can other people help? Is there someone who can coordinate
other people's efforts in the right direction?
Sean's Posit #6: The group of people who need fast XML processing and
the group of people know C are almost completely orthogonal technical
groups.
Ruby (or more specifically rails) has turned into a kind of open
source refuge for .net developers who lack much clue, so the signal to
noise ratio for most ruby projects is... atypical and out of line.
What the project needs are people who can actually program in C,
understand XML and are in a position to spend cycles on this problem.
As is, there aren't many who have these two essentially non-
overlapping skills and rarer still, people who have cycles to spend on
the thankless job of library development. -sc
