Github project platform

This project is hosted on Github, where the Issues board for the repository serves as a clearinghouse for discussion and for management of feature requests and bug reports.

Please feel free to contribute.

Public XML/XSLT venues

Other venues may be useful for discussion of XML, XSLT, document encoding technologies and the various applications offered on this site. Since this project is open, any expert is free to assess and analyze it: users may find it advantageious to solicit support from other users or third parties.

Consider any of the following public venues:

• Mulberry Technologies XSL-List for discussion of XSLT (XSLT 1.0 questions and remarks are welcome)
• XML.com XML Slack chat

Demonstration, service, or both?

This site presents a demo in the form of a service or set of services. Each demonstration shows how such a service can work, not simply by describing a feature set but by offering one, to some degree of completion.

As a model or demonstration of a service, however, any project on this site can also be copied, cloned or adapted to provide an actual service. Permission from the site owners and maintainers is not necessary to do this, while terms of the license are respected.

Users of the applications might keep in mind the goal of public research in the public interest:

• The site and applications are designed to address a community developer use case, to enable and facilitate portability and reuse.
• Accordingly (and to the extent applications are meant to be generic), no one's peculiar use case may be catered to -- including yours.
• Nonetheless bug reports and feature requests are welcome within this context (public and generic demonstrations).
• The public repository and portal site are provided as services (by the US Government), but as technology demonstrations they may disappear at any time.
• Meanwhile anyone is free to copy, adapt, modify, repair and extend any application or all of them, either for their own use or to offer applications as services to others.

Project sunset

As currently planned, this project will no longer be maintained actively after 2027, five years after inception. In order to ensure long-term access, organizations and developers who wish to copy or clone it should plan to do this at least once before that date. For some period thereafter it may remain accessible for reference.
