Hi Mukul,

It’s great to hear from you too.

If there are others working on or looking forward to XSLT 3.0 support in Xalan, 
I would encourage them to participate here to make it happen. It would be 
excellent if we had more energy on the PMC and generally support anyone willing 
to contribute.

It’s no secret that I have had limited time for this project for many years. I 
keep an eye on things and weigh in occasionally but can’t devote the time I 
used to. Xerces is the first real open source project I ever worked on and 
after 23 years around here I still care about it which is why I do chime in on 
discussions on increasing participation.

Thanks.
