Hi Dreamcat, I had come across your project, and it indeed is good.
I have to add NeXML parsing and serializing support to BioRuby. Libxml is an existing BioRuby dependency. Using your wrapper would mean adding more dependency to it, which I do not want. Naturally, I did not give libxml4r a thorough look. Before, I had worked with the Nokogiri library. That time i did not even understand SAX or StAX; just DOM. I would dare say Nokogiri's documentation is better compared to libxml and they have nice tutorials. It helped me do my job, within a few minutes of encounter with the library. What I am trying to emphasize is that having tutorials on the main site helps, atleast for beginners. That is why I wrote this and forwarded the idea of either linking to my post from the main site or maybe adapting it to form better tutorials and putting it on the site :).
