The writer is close to being ready to be discussed, I've been working on the 
documentation lately. As for the parser, I got a pretty much good idea how to 
go about it but the code is pretty much in the woods. At work I've changed 
teams which entails lots of reading to get myself up to pace in the new area, 
travelling to an office abroad, and working till late with code I don't know 
yet. Now, that's not an excuse, just an honest answer to what's taking so 
long. I'm still willing to pull this module through. The work frenzy is 
clearing out and most probably I'll have the time to do some solid work this 
month and on.

 Does Tomek or someone else want to apply as a 
 mentor for this project?

Perhaps let's do it this way: I'll finish the writer, get it through community 
scrutiny myself, out of GSoC. The GSoC contribution to std.xml will be limited 
in scope to parsing. I will serve as a light bulb with all I read up so far on 
the topic, the lessons learned from my tries, and several years of experience 
with D. This way  the density of reviews as well as the odds of bringing the 
module home will be higher.

If that sounds good, let me know how to apply as a mentor.

GSoC XML library proposal

2011-04-06 Thread Andrei Alexandrescu

Hello,


We have an XML library proposal. I know Tomek Sowinski was working on 
such. What is the status? Does Tomek or someone else want to apply as a 
mentor for this project?



Thanks,

Andrei
