Hello,


We have an XML library proposal. I know Tomek Sowinski was working on 
such. What is the status? Does Tomek or someone else want to apply as a 
mentor for this project?


Thanks,

Andrei

The writer is close to being ready to be discussed, I've been working on th=
e documentation lately. As for the parser, I got a pretty much good idea ho=
w to go about it but the code is pretty much in the woods. At work I've cha=
nged teams which entails lots of reading to get myself up to pace in the ne=
w area, travelling to an office abroad, and working till late with code I d=
on't know yet. Now, that's not an excuse, just an honest answer to "what's =
taking so long". I'm still willing to pull this module through. The work fr=
enzy is clearing out and most probably I'll have the time to do some solid =
work this month and on.

 mentor for this project?

Perhaps let's do it this way: I'll finish the writer, get it through commun=
ity scrutiny myself, out of GSoC. The GSoC contribution to std.xml will be =
limited in scope to parsing. I will serve as a light bulb with all I read u=
p so far on the topic, the lessons learned from my tries, and several years=
 of experience with D. This way  the density of reviews as well as the odds=
 of bringing the module home will be higher.

If that sounds good, let me know how to apply as a mentor.
