<br>
&gt; When is the ASF board report for XALAN due?<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; Here is some information collected for the Apache XALAN project report.<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; Steven J. Hathaway<br>
&gt; Xalan Documentation Project<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; ==============<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; Status report for the Apache XALAN project -- July, 2012<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; The Apache Xalan Project is a collaborative software development project
<br>
&gt; dedicated to providing robust, full-featured, commercial-quality,
and <br>
&gt; freely available XSLT support on a wide variety of platforms.<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; There are currently two subprojects under the Apache Xalan Project:
<br>
&gt; Xalan C++, and Xalan Java, representing C++ and Java implementations
of <br>
&gt; the W3C XSL Transformations (XSLT) Version 1.0 and the XML Path Language
<br>
&gt; (XPath) Version 1.0 recommendations.<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; Project Status<br>
&gt; --------------<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; A new website has been prepared and is ready for publishing using
the <br>
&gt; infrastructure (svnpubsub) architecture. &nbsp;This addresses many
Apache <br>
&gt; branding and website maintenance issues. &nbsp;This completes a substantial
<br>
&gt; rework of the Apache Xalan top-level and the underlying C++ and Java
<br>
&gt; project websites.<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; Xalan is mentoring a Google GSoC-2012 student from Brazil to develop
<br>
&gt; additional capability for the C++ libraries.<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; The current releases are quite old. &nbsp;As you know, the Xalan project
was <br>
&gt; ready to be placed into the attic last year. &nbsp;A new relase of
the C++ <br>
&gt; library is being planned for the end of summer. &nbsp;A patch release
of the <br>
&gt; Java library is being planned.<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; Branding Requirements<br>
&gt; ---------------------<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; This is completed by publishing our new website tree. &nbsp;The code
<br>
&gt; repositories already conform to branding requirements.<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; Project Migration<br>
&gt; -----------------<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; The Apache XML project was the parent of the Apache XALAN project.
As <br>
&gt; you know, XALAN has since became an Apache project with its own project
<br>
&gt; management. &nbsp;Our subprojects still have some infrastructure ties
to the <br>
&gt; old Apache XML project.<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; Publishing the new website will remove our dependence on the Apache
XML <br>
&gt; website parent tree.<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; Publishing a new release for the C++ library and a patch release for
the <br>
&gt; Java library will remove our dependence on the Apache XML project
<br>
&gt; mirrors infrastructure.<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; Community Activity<br>
&gt; ------------------<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; The Apache XALAN project is mentoring a student in the Google Summer
of <br>
&gt; Code 2012.<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; The C++ library is successfully built using Linux, HPUX, Windows,
BSD, <br>
&gt; and Solaris. &nbsp;Packaging efforts are underway to support the newest
<br>
&gt; releases of the various development tools and platforms.<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; The Java library sees subversion patches along with tracking numerous
<br>
&gt; issues with Jira in preparation of a new patch release.<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; Documentation for both the C++ and Java releases are being integrated
<br>
&gt; into the new websites for those sub-projects.<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; We have an active user base that is proposing patches and active <br>
&gt; committers to implement the patches.<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; Builds of the C++ library and XSLT transformation utility are being
made <br>
&gt; on numerous platforms in preparation of a coming release. &nbsp;The
current <br>
&gt; SVN trunk is considered stable and has been the platform of choice
for <br>
&gt; several years.<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; A patch release of the Java library and XSLT transformation utilities
is <br>
&gt; being prepared. &nbsp;We have started adding the new features into
the <br>
&gt; documentation.<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; Developer Mail List Activity<br>
&gt; ---------------------------<br>
&gt; &nbsp; &nbsp;February 2012 &nbsp;25 messages - fix bugs<br>
&gt; &nbsp; &nbsp;March &nbsp; &nbsp;2012 &nbsp;76 messages - fix bugs
and preparing for GSoC 2012<br>
&gt; &nbsp; &nbsp;April &nbsp; &nbsp;2012 &nbsp;63 messages - fix bugs
and preparing for GSoC 2012<br>
&gt; &nbsp; &nbsp;May &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;2012 &nbsp;17 messages - mostly
infrastructure planning issues<br>
&gt; &nbsp; &nbsp;June &nbsp; &nbsp; 2012 &nbsp;32 messages - two mentors
involved with GSoC 2012<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; Community Objectives<br>
&gt; --------------------<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; Prepare a release of the C++ library by the end of summer.<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; Plan a patch release of the Java library.<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; Complete the hosting migration out of the Apache XML project so that
the <br>
&gt; Apache XALAN project stands on its own. &nbsp;Publishing the new (svnpubsub)
<br>
&gt; based website and mirroring new releases for C++ and Java will complete
<br>
&gt; the hosting migration requirements.<br>
