I'd say, stay active and commit it to scratchpad. To be fully featured, we need the option of metadata. The binary patch I just committed put a simple 'inline' metadata in, so xindice can handle binaries.
I guess what I'm saying is, I want it, and I want to see how to integrate it, immediately after we release 1.1. -Kevin -----Original Message----- From: Murray Altheim [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 11, 2003 5:35 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Committing the XNode API [Was: 1.1 Release Plan] Gianugo Rabellino wrote: [...] > OK.

Gianugo et al, Sorry to pipe up at this moment, but perhaps it's as good a time as any. Given that I've been completely absorbed by my own project, and that my main intention in becoming a committer was to work on the XNode stuff, do you wish me to remove myself from the committers list? I actually now do have CVS access, which previously I didn't (because of firewall restrictions), but I've hesitated to add the XNode stuff because (a) I didn't want to slow anything down, (b) neither Tom nor Kimbro was sure *where* (i.e., what package location) XNode should go, and (c) I'm not sure anyone but me and maybe some people at Sun actually wants it. As I've said previously, it's fully functional as an API and I use it pretty much daily, but that doesn't mean others want it. (I'd be happy to point anyone at the API javadocs if interested) Let me know what you want me to do. I'd have like to added XNode to the tree, but absent decisions on (b) I don't really know how to proceed. Currently, in my code I have it at org.apache.xnode.*, since it's not necessarily limited to use with Xindice, but I'm flexible.
