Hi Corey,
Why don't you take a look at the EXSLT web site and compare what's
implemented in Xalan-C to look for gaps? I'm a little fuzzy on the
details, but there are quite a few things that aren't implemented yet, so
why don't you look for something that looks interesting, and we can go from
there. If you can come back with a potential list, we can figure out
priorities, etc.
We should also spend some time devising basic stylesheets that will test
the EXSLT functionality. We'll need at least a set of smoketest
stylesheets before we start claiming we're really implementing EXSLT.

Please respond to
xalan-dev
Dave,
I was mainly thinking of implementation but I can also help out by
testing.
Just to let you know where I'm at, I have beening working with Xalan-C++
since 1.4 came out, mainly using the XalanTransformer and extension
function
API's for my application.
I have skimmed over the implementations for the current EXSLT functions
but haven't really digged too deeply. And I have also looked at the
functions at the EXSLT website.
For me I think it would be better at least to start off with if I was
given a specific task or tasks, so that I can be better aquainted with the
source code.
