Hi Stefano, Thanks for all of your help so far, and we look forward to more of it in the future. BTW, you may not have noticed this, but we're now using the [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing lists, Nearly everyone who was on dbxml-core-devel has been automatically resubscribed to xindice-dev, and nearly everyone who was on dbxml-core-general has been automatically resubscribed to xindice-users. So make sure your mail filters are up to do. I'm going to cc messages to both lists for the next day or so. I realized that it's been over two years since the dbXML Project was founded, and the people who originally started the project have never actually introduced themselves. Since we're, to a degree, starting with a clean slate here, I thought we might take some time to do that. I'll start with myself: My name's Tom Bradford, and I started the dbXML Project in June or July of 1999. My goal was to scratch an itch that I had while working on B2B integration systems that I had been developing in my full-time work. I found myself writing RDBMS mapping code... a lot, and got tired of doing it over and over again. Mapping to relational and storing in BLOBs is something I had been doing for a while, and the performance was terrible. At the time, there were no open source XML database solutions, and only one or two commercial solutions that were rather expensive, so I decided to build one. -- Tom Bradford - http://www.tbradford.org Developer - Apache Xindice (formerly dbXML) Maintainer - jEdit-Syntax Java Editing Bean
