The list has just started! Welcome! Xerces-C is based on version 3 of XML4C from IBM. Version 3 is running on Linux, and has not been ported to FreeBSD yet. This would be a great contribution!
Note that version 3 cleanly splits out the ICU (Unicode) classes, which are Open Sourced separately on IBM's DeveloperWorks website (there are a whole bunch of companies and individuals working on it there). There are plug-in adapters for each code conversion framework. Right now there's one for iconv, one for Win32 conversions, and one for ICU (but ICU itself you get from the IBM Open Source site). Again, welcome!
