Hi Fernando,
Welcome back, we can definitely use the help. For patches just send them to the list, after a few we can look at getting you commit.

Thank you for the response :)
I was briefly involved with dbXML last year ( you can see me in the contributors list :) and I'm really charged up to get involved with Xindice. If there is a preferred way for me to submit patches, and get into the ranks, please let me know. :)

ps - I see you're involved with an XQuery Engine xqrl.com. How is that proceeding? Do you see it easily being an XMLDB service plug-in to Xindice?

I do not believe that it's being used; could anyone tell me the reasoning why the copy is there? Attached is a patch to simply remove the Kernel.TextWriter class from Kernel.
This goes back to when there were two separate projects, Juggernaut and dbXML. Juggernaut needed *a* serializer to write its configuration, but not necessarily dbXML's, and dbXML required Juggernaut to build, so the class was copied to allow Juggernaut to build. When the code bases merged to form Xindice, this was no longer necessary, so that inner class is actually an unnecessary vestige.
