Michael Glavassevich commented on XERCESJ-1558:
-----------------------------------------------
Hello Arek, I can't speak for why certain students decided not to write a
proposal. I imagine that there are probably several thousand potential project
ideas that are published across all of the organizations that participate in
GSoC. Only a fraction of those will get formal proposals from students and only
some of those students will get accepted for GSoC. There are plenty of project
ideas from last year that are still available this year. That's not a
reflection on ideas being better than others or the priorities of the
community. It just means that there are a lot of choices, far more than there
are participants for GSoC.
Regarding the XMLStreamWriter, in general it doesn't verify that the XML is
well-formed but it is required to check some error conditions (that are
documented on the methods of the API). If you're looking for reading material,
this developerWorks article [1] is a good place to start. If you have specific
questions about the project and want to discuss it in more depth I would
encourage you to join the project mailing list and post your thoughts and
questions there.
Thanks.

> GSoC: Implement the StAX XMLStreamWriter
> ----------------------------------------

> Key: XERCESJ-1558
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XERCESJ-1558
> Project: Xerces2-J
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: StAX
> Affects Versions: 2.11.0
> Reporter: Michael Glavassevich
> Labels: gsoc, gsoc2013, mentor

> Xerces does not yet have an XMLStreamWriter (the interface in StAX which
> writes/serializes an XML document). I think a basic implementation of an
> XMLStreamWriter (one that can write to a java.io.OutputStream and
> java.io.Writer) would be a good GSoC project.
