I gather that that is what you meant. Jeff continued: > Anyone in favour of officially making xml-commons' charter closer to > jakarta-commons? What needs to change? Do you see something specific? Can we replicate and tweak their charter, and add certain bits from cvs/xml-commons/README.html ? The jakarta-commons charter has well-numbered items which will help us to discuss any issues here. When we have the shell of xdocs in CVS, then we can all help to flesh them out. > I have a utility[1] I think would complement Norman > Walsh's Catalog code.. > --Jeff > [1] http://opensource.socialchange.net.au/doctypechanger/latest/apidocs/ We are keen to see both utilities arrive on xml-commons. I am here to help with documentation and user experience viewpoint. With a big start from Davanum Srinivas, i managed to get the Entity Resolver component hooked up as a Cocoon component, and start the documentation. That is now in the xml-cocoon2 CVS and made it into the 2.0 release. Norm's entity resolver and the SocialChange doctypechanger are both crucial XML tools. Anything that we can do to assist their uptake is a good thing. Anyway these topics are for other threads. The first task is to start getting the charter sorted. That will take a while and should not hold up any real work. (Would the next poster please fine-tune the email Subject.) --David Crossley
