It is such a shame that no open-source native xml
database supports it yet.
First of all I love the open-source community and what they offer. Secondly I was merely saying that there is an increasing degree of interest for XQuery and simply stating the fact that no open-source native xml database (not only Xindie) has yet begun implementing it. I don't know why you are offended but I certainly dont appreciate the way you respond.
I was offended by the "it is such a shame". These words are very powerful (at least when I translate them into French). [ shame = "negative emotion that combines feelings of dishonor, unworthiness and embarassment" ]. But maybe it's my English.
The whole idea of having a mailinglist is to communicate about concepts and change thoughts. If anyone who has a suggestion or a question is treated the way you react, there won't be much left of this mailinglist.
And what about "Hello, I'm an XML user and Xindice addict. I'm very interested in XQuery but this feature in [not yet] available in Xindice. I think it would be a *very valuable* addon to Xindice. There are several OS XQuery modules (like Qeno) and maybe it could be a good starting point for Xindice. Are there other people interested in Xindice-XQuery? Since I'm not a developer, I would be ready to help you for the documentation."
But as I said, it's maybe my English.
