Ok - good too see that there's some activity.
I am unsure of what you need for the ASF board meeting...
....At present I am relying on the few remaining committers to apply
patches to the Xalan-C++ SVN repository....
What we need from the board's point of view is a PMC with at least 3
active members, so as to be able to vote on releases, and a responsive
PMC chair who communicates with the board according to the PMC report
schedule (usually every 3 months). The last board report we got from
Xalan was in November 2011 [1], and was rejected as insufficiently
detailed, so that needs to be fixed.
It also seems to me like there are no active moderators for the
priv...@xalan.apache.org mailing list, messages that we sent there
have not appeared in the archives.
Do you think the project can motivate existing PMC members to fill
these gaps? Or are there only committers remaining with no active PMC
members?
Hi Bertrand,
I apologize for not responding sooner. I'm the current PMC chair, but
I've been too busy with work responsibilities to give adequate time to
the project. There are currently no other active PMC members.
I am, however, confused about moderating for the private list. I don't
know who the current moderators are, but your previous email appeared in
my inbox, and I don't get any moderator requests for that list, so from
what I can see, there's no need for moderation.
I am the current moderator for the Xalan-C users list, and I do see
moderator requests for that list on a regular basis. Is the mechanism
for moderating the private Xalan list the same? That is, should I be
seeing the same sorts of emails if I'm one of the moderators for the
private list?
As for the future of the Xalan project -- I don't think there are any
active committers left, besides me, and I don't think I will have the
time to do more than I'm doing at this point. However, I have offered to
review and commit Steve's changes.
Dave
