I have asked several times about the policies, procedures, and
administrative requirements to move Xalan-C version 1.11 into production.
I have looked at the web site sources and the documentation. I have
also looked at the job to update the documentation for version 1.11 and
prepare a baseline website for version 1.11 documentation. I do not
desire to have the keys to administer the Apache web repositories
without being employed by a corporate sponsor. I am willing to provide
input to a designated Apache/Xalan-C web administrator. This includes
web page design and documentation updates.
I am willing to do what I can to prepare version 1.11 documentation, but
it will need to be reviewed.
Unlike the Xerces-C project, the Xalan-C project does not collect SVN
snapshots to the Apache SVN repository. I would also like to see that
happen. Such a repository would help implementers deploy version 1.11+
and colaborate on the Xalan-C issues. The code for version 1.11 seems
well tested by the current users of the SVN repository.
The development platforms I support include GNU/Linux, Microsoft (.net
2003, 2005, 2008, 2010). I may be able to help find some support for
AIX, BSD, HP-UX, Solaris, Stratus-VOS, and IBM Mainframe platforms.
Most of these platforms should already be well tested on version 1.11 by
developers.

Hi Ian,
Thanks for the offer to help. The documentation, particularly
generating the new web site is the biggest problem. I've never built
the docs, so I'm not sure what's involved.
I'll do a search in my old emails to see if I can find some details.
The other issue is getting access to enough non-x86 systems to do some
release testing. This will be particularly important if any work is
done to update the build system.
