thanks for the offer, very appreciated! We try our best to keep the sources well-documented, so you could start by downloading and analyzing the code base [1]. If you prefer a theoretic approach, you could as well dive into the (few) existing publications on how to parallelize XQuery requests (e.g. [2]). General parallelization approaches for functional languages might as well be applied to XQuery, as long as an XQuery expression doesn't include any non-deterministic code (such as calls to the File Module etc.). Hope this helps, Christian [1] http://docs.basex.org/wiki/Developing [2] http://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=xquery+parallelization
