To all Xalan Users: We need persons as committers and PMC members to keep the XALAN project alive. I am willing to become a PMC member and contributor, but other interested persons are also required. There has been little to no action on my JIRA postings waiting to be reviewed and committed.
I am continuing with web page documentation for the Xalan-C++ Version 1.11. I have web page prototypes ready for review and comment. If you would like the web page creation scripts, I can provide them. Just make your interests known to the xalan-...@xml.apache.org mail list. Please share your interest to the (xalan-...@xml.apache.org) mail list. If necessary, we can recreate the PMC development team. I will assist. Sincerely, Steven J.
