Folks-- I love the XMLS package because it takes XML and turns it into s-exps which I can then car/cdr through for whatever I want. My needs are simple and that package fits 'em.
However, it seems to be unmaintained. The main problem is that it assumes that the XML you're working with is latin-1 (for both reading and writing), and, well, the XML I work with (syndication feeds), isn't. So, I've had to patch it a bit to make it work within SBCL. I understand the code just enough to make it work for my purposes and at this point, since it's a single file, I've just started including it directly into my own projects rather than using the asdf-installable version. SO, here's the deal: 1. I'd be happy to take over maintainership of that tiny code base, set up a darcs repo, etc, etc. 2. I'd be happy if someone else took over the maintainership as well: someone I could submit my patch to who could either just accept it, or fix the problem it addresses in a more idiomatic way. What I don't know how to do is, well, take over that maintainership, so I'd need a mentor to help with that. My preference is for common-lisp.net (though I'm not a fan of cvs), with a mailing list and the whole thing. What do you think? Next steps?
