That's funny all of a sudden XML.org wants to listen to it's customers. I have submitted numerous papers and information articles relating to XML and have never even receive so much as an acknowledgment back.
I at least thought that an industry breakthrough (RUPU server) would warrant a mention. But the truth is that unless you have an industry relation somewhere within XML.org your talking to deaf ears. XML.org did not even acknowledge this breakthrough technology. I hope this marks a real change at XML.org . <Cite:> RUPU http://rupu.paper2electronic.com </Cite:> support [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > ************************************* > Dear XML Community, > > In an effort to continuously improve and enhance XML.org as valuable > resource and meeting place for the global XML community, we are calling > on > you to volunteer your time to participate in a focus group that will > help > the management staff and the Advisory Committee of XML.org better > understand > what the XML.org community-at-large wants and needs out of XML.org. > > Volunteers will be asked to answer a series of specific questions like: > > Name the top 3 reasons why you visit XML.org? > What 3 things do you not like about at XML.org? > What 3 things is XML.org not providing you? > > We plan on selecting 30 volunteers from diverse backgrounds, industries > and > locations.
