Thanks Bertrand! I'm glad you have been able to reform the Xalan PMC.
--------- I am willing to do my part at keeping the XALAN PMC alive. I wish to be an active participant on the XALAN team. My committer license agreement is signed and on file at ASF. I am not an ASF member, but I am willing to participate as a member if given the opportunity. I've got a good start at preparing a documentation package for Xalan-C/C++ version 1.11 and the foundation is ready for review. I have a set of document and website construction tools that can be used to support a new deployment of Xalan-C/C++. I would like the documentation tools and User-Guide web pages posted to a branch of the xalan/c repository. Then as documents look good, they can be posted to the xalan/c/trunk. I use the StyleBook XML markup for "Xalan-C/C++ User Guide version 1.11" but do not use the StyleBook Java program. Instaead I have designed a standard stylesheet that transforms StyleBook XML markup into usable project web pages. Any compliant XSLT processor can be used to create the User Guide web pages. I currently use the Xalan program that is packaged with Xalan-C as the tool to create web pages from StyleBook XML markup. I have many years of professional experience as a technical writer and technical editor and publisher. I wish to use my talents in support of the XALAN projects. Since xalan-dev and xalan-c-users mail lists do not like attachments, I can send attachments of web pages to individuals for review. I hope the documentation work can soon can be committed to the xalan/c repository. I monitor the xalan-dev and xalan-c-users groups. Let me know through these groups if you wish to evaluate the Xalan-C/C++ User Guide development work. Sincerely, Steven J. Hathaway Oregon State Police - Systems Analyst P.S. I know that XPath2 and XSLT2 requires a significant code change. I want to bring closure to XALAN-C 1.11 and provide documentation support for XALAN-C 2.x. > Hi Xalan community, > > I'm pleased to announce that the ASF board has voted for re-establish > the Xalan PMC as follows: > > * David Bertoni (dbertoni, PMC chair) > * Gareth Reakes (gareth) > * Tim Williams (twilliams) > * Sanjiva Weerawarana (sanjiva) > * Gary D.
