Hello Glen, as you can see I'm not very proactive on libxml2 those days. Honnestly the project is mostly in maintainance at this point, i.e. we do bug fixes and support but not much new code. One way to help is feedback on this list, either issues raised or helping others. In the way of code there isn't anything really easy, getting more knowledge of the XML Schemas code could help. In terms of new developments, I'm not really suggesting going into XPath2 as this is huge, an XProc implementation would be nice, but it would require some serious time: http://www.w3.org/TR/xproc/ for a small bit of work at a time, going through the GNOME bugzilla and looking at existing bugs, or bugs with patches is useful, I think there is plenty of ways to help but most are a bit boring :-) Daniel -- Daniel Veillard | libxml Gnome XML XSLT toolkit http://xmlsoft.org/ dan...@veillard.com | Rpmfind RPM search engine http://rpmfind.net/ http://veillard.com/ | virtualization library http://libvirt.org/ _______________________________________________ xml mailing list, project page http://xmlsoft.org/ xml@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/xml
