New XSL standard, new opportunity
Subject: New XSL standard, new opportunity From: "Pasqualino \"Titto\" Assini" <assini@xxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 18 Aug 1998 20:13:18 +0200 |
The new XSL standard is out (http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl) As expected the syntax and the capabilities of the standard have been extensivily changed/expanded. I got only a superficial look at the standard but it seems that existing XSL processor will have to be heavily modified or even rewritten by scratch. This is not necessarily bad news as this might be a great opportunity to put together all those interested in developing an open source java XSL processor. Sean Russell, the original writer of Docproc, has manifested the intention to put new life in the development of his processor by making it open source and accepting the help of other developers. Another ongoing development effort, by Jeremy Calles , has been announced on the xsl-list. Other people have declared their interest in these projects and their intention to help. So why don't we try to put all these "resources" together in a common project ? That will necessarily imply establishing a list of desired features, to decide which kind of free licencing to adopt and the name of the project, to form a group to manage the project, etc. This is a little more complex than just "writing the code and putting it on the web", but it's the model that worked so well for other major freeware developments such as Apache. Hopefully waiting for your remarks. -- Pasqualino "Titto" Assini --- assini@xxxxxxxx Kamus Internet Consulting --- http://www.kamus.it/ XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
