As a TLP, the PMC owes the Board a quarterly report; our
first is due tomorrow/Monday, two days before the Board
meeting (sorry for the late notice).

I'd particularly like to know what people think about 
some of the items I listed for intentions next quarter.

I'm intending on sending this off in 24 hours: 5 PM (PST)
Monday.  In the future, I'll try to give at least three
days notice.

NOTE: this post is primarily relevant to PMC members,
for which we have a separate private list; however, 
I'm assuming that it is better to add a couple more 
emails in dev@ subscribers' inboxes and keep the whole
community involved, rather than handle it only on the 
private PMC list.

XMLBEANS PMC REPORT: July - September 2004
------------------------------------------
Actions taken in the last quarter:
1. TLP and Incubator-graduation transition 
  - web site moved to xmlbeans.apache.org
  - mailing lists moved to @xmlbeans.apache.org
  - updated all files (readme's, url references
    site docs) to reflect Incubator graduation. 
  - TODO: move from cvs: xml-xmlbeans 
          to http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/xmlbeans
  - TODO: xmlbeans charter 
2. Created v1.0.3 release after graduation
3. Added two new committers
4. Confirmed to have XMLBeans tutorial and session 
   at ApacheCon US 2004
5. Agreed on process for voting on new committers.
   Nominations and forthcoming vote are announced
   publicly (dev list).  Most discussion occurs 
   on dev list.  However, pmc list is where actual
   votes are posted.  Results posted on -dev list.
6. Thanks to Vadim Gritsenko, we now have site stats 
   on http://www.apache.org/~vgritsenko/stats/projects/xmlbeans.html.
7. Hosted the second annual XMLBeans BOF at OSCON.
8. Participated in JavaOne panel on Java-XML binding.
   
Intentions for next quarter:
1. Get XMLBeans charter agreed on and approved
2. Get a project logo
3. Work with XML community to define XML federation
4. Release new distribution, either another v1 
   update or an early-release of v2 
5. Use ApacheCon to further cultivate active 
   developer community (future committers).
   We're out of the Incubator and doing well with 
   community, but we could still improve the diversity 
   of those who are actively contributing/committing 
   code.
6. Discuss when we will be ready to move to svn.
   Latest consensus was to wait until next major 
   release.
