This is an update on the efforts provide an implementation of the Simple XML Data Manipulation Language (SiXDML) which is an XML:DB initiative project described at http://www.xmldb.org/sixdml/ for Apache Xindice.
I will be presenting a paper about SiXDML at the First VLDB Workshop on Efficiency and Effectiveness of XML Tools, and Techniques (EEXTT2002)[0] that will be held in Hong Kong. Now that I have cleared that hump, I can begin to guide Sanjay Bhatia's efforts in getting a Xindice implementation out of the door. My current timetable is for us to release bimonthly efforts until August when the conference will be held. The tentative timetable is June 14: Updated SiXDML API released to XML:DB initiative site. June 28: ANTLR SiXDML parser implementation released which is compatible with updated API. July 14: Alpha Xindice implementation released that utilizes new API and parser. July 28: Update alpha Xindice implementation based on feedback. August 14: More updates to alpha Xindice implementation based on feedback. These efforts are intended to fulfill item 4.2 in the Xindice Planning document[1].

While they add to the gloomy atmosphere, they are good conductors of vibrations and a lot of prisoners know Morse code. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
