Likewise, I currently maintain patchsets for private use and for
homebrew, vcpkg, BSD ports etc. All these patches should have been
upstreamed, and I've posted some of them here over the years, with zero
interest observed in having them merged and released. I've also written
a complete CMake build so it will build on all contemporary platforms,
as I already did for Xerces-C++. I'll be happy to spend the time to get
this into a fully tested and releasable state. But it does require
commitment from the Xalan project to review and commit it, or permit me
or others who care about it to do so ourselves.
Like Bill, I'm a C++ user, and would primarily be looking at the C++
code only.

Roger

I currently maintain the packaging for the Xalan C++ codebase in
Debian. I also use Xalan C++ extensively at my day job.
At one point, Steven Hathaway and I privately discussed me becoming a
committer for the project. However at that time, I was unable to take
on any more commitments, so I had to decline. This was a few years ago.
It light of the current discussion (and changes to my workload since
then), I would be willing to allocate some of my time to helping
keep Xalan alive. However, this would be primarily on the C++ codebase, as
I don't really have the expertise to contribute to the Java codebase.
I would also be willing to help with the PMC if desired. I am currently
a committer and PMC member for the Apache Axis2 project.

Hi!
it seems that despite all the efforts, at this point we only have 2 PMC
members
who are willing to continue governing Xalan: Michael and Gary.
Unfortunately, this means that unless somebody steps up and joins the PMC,
we will
have to proceed with moving Xalan to ASF's attic soon:
http://attic.apache.org/
Note, that the project can always be revived should at least 3 active PMC
members
materialize in the future, but it behoves us to be honest with our users
and signal when
there's not enough current activity to keep the project going.
Thanks,
Roman.
