December 2016 Report

Xerces-J

There were only a few commits over the reporting period (to update documentation of the XML Schema 1.1 tests).

A Xerces-J committer from long ago recently approached the PMC to have their committer status reinstated. It seems this does not require a new vote, but we are not sure of the next steps and would appreciate advice on what to do here. This particular individual was last active when the ASF was still using CVS and does not have an SVN account.

Mailing list traffic has been low; roughly 50+ posts on the j-dev and j-users lists since the beginning of August 2016.

No new releases this quarter. The latest release is Xerces-J 2.11.0 (November 30th, 2010).

Xerces-C

A vote was recently completed to add a new committer. He has already submitted his CLA and we plan to request a new account for him once the vote result appears in the mailing list archives.

Mailing list traffic has been low; roughly 80+ posts on the c-dev and c-users lists since the beginning of August 2016.

No new releases this quarter. The latest release is Xerces-C 3.1.4 (June 29th, 2016).

Xerces-P

Nothing in particular to report. There was no development activity over the reporting period.

XML Commons

No activity over the reporting period.

Apache Project Branding Requirements

The project logo still needs a "TM" to be added to it.
