Fellow developers, I had started some voting both on accepting some code to support DOM Level 3 APIs from the Apache Xerces team into Xalan-J. I had also started a vote on having a new Apache Xalan release, 2.7.1. All voting was on the "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" ( pmc = Project Management Committee) mailing list, since the PMC has the ultimate vote on such issues.
A fellow PMC member has made me aware that the various PMC mailing lists are now "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" and the old "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" lists are just aliases to "private", and the "private" is for issues that cannot or should not be discussed in public, such as security problems, or discussions that require confidentiality. Be assured that DOM Level 3 APIs and a new release are not issues that Xalan wishes to hide from the public. I was thinking "pmc" rather than "private". So before I put these to a vote (among the PMC members on *this* xalan-dev mailing list), I'm going to open up the discussion. The Apache Xerces project would like to use the serializer that is in Xalan and deprecate their own serializer. This has already been discussed on the Xerces mailing lists. The biggest problem with this is that the Xalan serializer does not support the DOM Level 3 APIs. Xerces would like to donate some code to Xalan to make that happen and start using the Xalan serializer. Any thoughts on this? I'm hoping that this will work out. The second point of discussion is much more brief. Xalan 2.7.0 was released on Aug 8, 2005, and I think it is high time to put out 2.7.1, hopefully with the DOM Level 3 support. Any thoughts on Xalan 2.7.1? - Brian - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Brian Minchau Apache Xalan PMC Member --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
