Hi Jason,
I haven't worked much on the xerces.pm. However, I am familiar with xerces-c
part. So, if you are interested, I can help out on the couple of
documentation items you have identified below:
* someone to document which functions in Xerces-C throw expceptions
(and what class they throw: XMLException, SAXParseException,
DOMException, ???).
* someone to document which methods in Xerces-C have polymorphic
parameter lists (i.e. there's more than one function with the same
name, but a different argument list).
Let me know how to proceed ...
Thanks,
Ram.

Subject: Help Maintaining Xerces.pm
Hey all,
There is plenty of room here at the Xerces.pm maintenance office for
more project committers. Harwin and Frederick Paul seem to have
disappeared into product-release morass and I haven't heard a peep
from them in months.
I'm kinda feeling overwhelmed and I'd like some help.
Things high up on the wish list:
* someone to work on getting Xerces.pm running on Windows (Tom Watson
are you still alive?)...
* someone to build binaries for the supported Architectures. Apache
has a number of build machines for this purpose, but it takes time.
* someone to document which functions in Xerces-C throw expceptions
(and what class they throw: XMLException, SAXParseException,
DOMException, ???).
* someone to add a more generic way to add exception handling to
functions in Xerces.C (the wrapper code file auto-generated by
SWIG). Currently I have to add a piece to postSource.pl (the perl
script that modifies Xerces.C after SWIG creates it to add all the
details that enables it to work properly for Xerces.pm) for each new
method I uncover. This is tedious. I'd just like to have a list of
method names, and whenever I encounter a call to a method in the
list, I wrap it with exception handling code.
* someone to document which methods in Xerces-C have polymorphic
parameter lists (i.e. there's more than one function with the same
name, but a different argument list).
* someone to fix the Xerces_header files to support polymorphic method
invocation. I have a generic mechanism in place for doing this, but
it just takes time typing.
* someone to port the other sample files for Xerces-C to Xerces.pm:
- CreateDOMDocument
- EnumVal
- PParse
- Redirect
- SAX2Print
- SAXPrint
I'm perfectly capable of implementing this all by myself, but I'm a
volunteer, Apache is not paying me to do this (however I would accept
donations).
