Re: Should Xindice be retired?

[Mario Cormier]

That's exactly what I've been thinking myself.  I think Xindice is a 
project with a lot of potential, that could easily fit a nice little 
niche, but unfortunately it's currently stalled completely.  I 
contributed a few patches and tried to help where I could, but seeing as 
no one cared, and all potential users invariably give up one by one for 
the same reasons, I gave up too.  Considering the continued interest of 
so many people, I personally think it's really a shame that the powers 
that be are choosing to simply ignore the potential totally.

It's really sad, but I have to agree with you.  If Apache XML doesn't 
want to help build the community (or even let the community build 
itself), then it should make that crystal clear and let the project be 
transferred to people who care.  I think interested people might be 
reluctant to try and take on that role seeing that the Xindice project 
is still alive.  That would only confuse everyone further.

Is it time to retire the project?
-k.
