Hi, I've updated the contents of the status file, and I'm posting it so that people can see where things stand.
I'm including it below for those who haven't seen it. Please feel free to tell me if there are things that should be on the list. This is the first drop of the Xerces for Java code base. There are lots of things that need to be done: Here are some things at the top of my list (in no particular order): * move documentation from xml-site to xml-xerces * Binary build for v1.0.1 * Additional Support for W3C XML schema. There's both the structures spec and the datatypes spec. There's a lot of work to do in the structures area, and that's the area I'll be working on for the next while. There's also a lot of work to be done in the datatypes area, and this would be a great place for someone to jump and get involved in the code. * Support for the DOM Level 2 ranges spec. Ralf Pfeiffer is looking at this * Reconciling the error messages between the C++ and Java versions of Xerces. * Figuring out what support for DTD access should look like. This version of Xerces supports access to the DTD via a special node in the DOM tree. There's also room for a more programmatic API to the DTD / Schema. This is a meaty one. * Enabling support for a DTD Caching mechanism. This would be especially beneficial in a server environment * There's a bunch of work that needs to be done on the DOM implementation. There's a bunch of memory consumption work that could be done. Andy Clark is looking at this. * Revalidation architecture work * DOM Write validation * Incorporation of features and improvements from other technology contributions. The first one is the printers proposal from Assaf Arkin. <DONE> * refinement and extension of the incremental parsing API * scripts to build parser subconfigurations * additional configuration options. * performance, performance, performance. * conformance, conformance, conformance. * a bunch of things that haven't been thought of yet. * more documentation * more samples * kill bugs * Major work on the build system. ANT vs Makefiles is the current discussion * Hook up JavaScript DOM API tests (see http://www.nist.gov/xml) * JAXP Wrappers for Xerces pending resolution of licensing issues
