Xerces-J was forutnate to be awarded one Google Summer of Code project this year. Starting later this month Wei Duan (the new student) will be working on the XMLStreamReader for the StAX implementation which has been under development on a branch in SVN.

Wiki MarkupIn April, there was a bit of discussion on the possible donation of \[http://people.apache.org/~andyc/neko/doc/html/ NekoHTML\] to Xerces-J. Given the past experience with the HTML DOM and WML DOM there's been some apprehension about accepting code into the project which is not likely to have an active maintainer. Apache Labs was suggested as a possible home for NekoHTML but it appears that it is more suited for new research experiments. Also in April, we were given a heads-up by a developer who is doing a \[http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/xerces-j-dev/200704.mbox/%3c46268B8C.9030500@codeazur.com.br%3e port\] of Xerces-J to Actionscript 3 (AS3): an [EcmaScript] 4 implementation, currently used in Adobe Flash Player 9. He might be interested in donating this code to Apache at some point in the future.

On the development front, there have been many fixes applied to the XML Schema and DOM implementations for bugs exposed by the W3C test suites. No releases so far this year.
