+<h1 id="1-introduction">1 INTRODUCTION</h1>
+<p>1.1 Apache™ XML Graphics is a collaborative software development project 
+dedicated to providing robust, full-featured, commercial-quality, and freely 
+available software packages for the conversion of XML to graphical output and 
+for related components. This project is managed in cooperation with various 
+individuals worldwide (both independent and company-affiliated experts), who use 
+the Internet to communicate, plan, and develop XML software and related 
+documentation.</p>
+<p>1.2 This charter briefly describes the mission, history, organization, and 
+processes of the project.</p>
+<h1 id="2-mission">2 MISSION</h1>
+<p>2.1 Apache XML Graphics exists to promote the use of XML. We view XML as a 
+compelling paradigm that structures data as information, thereby facilitating 
+the exchange, transformation, and presentation of knowledge. The ability to 
+transform raw data into usable information has great potential to improve the 
+functionality and use of information systems. We intend to build freely 
+available products for the conversion of XML to graphical output and closely 
+related technologies in order to engender such improvements.</p>
+<p>2.2 The Apache XML Graphics products support standard APIs (formal, de facto, or 
+proposed). They are designed to be high performance, reliable, and easy to use. 
+To facilitate easy porting of ideas between languages, the API's supported 
+should be as similar as possible, given the constraints of the languages and 
+existing architectures. Apache XML Graphics products should also be designed to 
+work efficiently with other Apache projects that deal with XML whenever 
+possible.</p>
+<p>2.3 We believe that the best way to further these goals is by having both 
+individuals and corporations collaborate on the best possible infrastructure, 
+APIs, code, testing, and release cycles. Components must be vendor neutral and 
+usable as core components for all.</p>
+<p>2.4 In order to achieve a coherent architecture between Apache XML Graphics 
+products and other components and applications, standards (formal or de facto) 
+will be used as much as possible for both protocols and APIs. Where appropriate, 
+experiences and lessons learned will be fed back to standards bodies in an 
+effort to assist in the development of those standards. We will also encourage 
+the innovation of new protocols, APIs, and components in order to seed new 
+concepts not yet defined by standards.</p>
+<h1 id="3-history">3 HISTORY</h1>
+<p>3.1 Both Batik and FOP were subprojects of the Apache XML Project until late 
+2004. At this time, reflecting the growth in the Apache XML project and these 
+communities themselves, Apache XML Graphics became a top-level project of the 
+Apache Software Foundation. Apache XML Graphics still shares much infrastructure 
+with the Apache XML project and the other former subprojects of Apache XML that 
+have become projects in their own right.</p>
+<h1 id="4-terms">4 TERMS</h1>
+<p>4.1 The ASF Board.  The management board of the Apache Software 
+Foundation.</p>
+<p>4.2 The Project.  The Apache XML Graphics Project; intended to refer to the 
+source code, website and community that are Apache XML Graphics.</p>
+<p>4.3 Subproject.  Apache XML Graphics is composed of a number of subprojects 
+which fit into one of two categories:</p>
+<p>a) Implementations of a graphics-related XML standard in some particular 
+   programming language. At the time of writing, there is one implementation 
+   for both SVG (Batik) and XSL-FO (FOP) written in Java.
+b) A set of components serving some purpose not directly pertinent to the 
+   conversion of XML to graphical output, but which are used in related 
+   applications and are tightly bound, usually through internal API's, to one
+   (or more) of the XML Graphics subprojects. </p>
+<p>4.4 Product.  Some deliverable (usually a binary or source
+package) that a subproject releases to the public. Subprojects
+may have multiple products.</p>
+<p>4.5 Contributor.  Anyone who makes a contribution to the development
+of the Apache XML Graphics project or a subproject.</p>
+<p>4.6 Committer.  Each Apache XML Graphics subproject has a set of committers. 
+Committers are contributors who have read/write access to the source code 
+repository. </p>
+<h1 id="5-the-project-management-committee">5 THE PROJECT MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE</h1>
+<p>5.1 The Apache XML Graphics project is managed by a core group of committers 
+known as the Project Management Committee [PMC], which is composed of volunteers 
+from among the active committers (see 8.3 below) from all subprojects.  Each 
+subproject must have at least one representative on the PMC, to ensure active 
+supervision of the subproject.</p>
+<p>5.2 The activities of the PMC are coordinated by the Chairperson, who is an 
+officer of the corporation and reports to the Apache Board.  The Chairperson 
+will, on the request of the Apache Board, provide reports to the Board on issues 
+related to the running of the Apache XML Graphics project.</p>
+<p>5.3 The PMC has the following responsibilities:</p>
+<p>a) Accepting new subproject proposals, voting on these proposals and creating 
+   the subproject (see SUBPROJECTS below).  This is done in collaboration with
+   the Incubator (see http://incubator.apache.org).<br />
+b) Facilitating code or other donations by individuals or companies, in 
+   collaboration with the Incubator.
+c) Resolving license issues and other legal issues in conjunction with
+   the ASF board.
+d) Ensuring that administrative and infrastructure work is completed.
+e) Facilitating relationships among subprojects and other Apache projects.
+f) Facilitating relationships between Apache XML Graphics and the external
+   world.
+g) Overseeing Apache XML Graphics to ensure that the mission defined in
+   this document is being fulfilled.
+h) Resolving conflicts within the project.
+i) Reporting to the ASF board (through the Chair) on the progress
+   of the project.</p>
+<p>5.4 In cases where the sub-project is unable to directly provide at least one 
+representative on the PMC--implying that there are no active committers on that 
+code base--then the subproject should be considered dormant, and any relevant 
+Apache policies for dormant projects should be implemented. At the least, the 
+subproject's status should be updated on its website.</p>
+<p>5.5 Every 12 months, or at the request of the Board, the PMC will provide a 
+recommendation to the Apache Board for the position of Chairperson of the PMC. </p>
+<p>5.6 This recommendation will be made on the basis of an election held within the 
+PMC. The election will be performed using a simple majority vote of PMC members.</p>
+<p>5.7 Upon agreement by the Apache Board, the recommended Chairperson will, if 
+they are not already, be appointed an officer of the corporation. See 
+http://www.apache.org/foundation/bylaws.html for more information.</p>
+<p>5.8 In the unlikely event that a member of the PMC becomes disruptive to the 
+process, ceases to make codebase contributions for an extended period, or ceases 
+to take part in PMC votes for an extended period of time, said member may be 
+removed by unanimous vote of remaining PMC members.</p>
+<p>5.9 The PMC is responsible for maintaining and updating this charter. 
+Development must follow the process outlined below, so any change to the 
+development process necessitates a change to the charter. Changes must be 
+approved by a two-thirds majority of all members of the PMC.</p>
+<h1 id="6-subprojects">6 SUBPROJECTS</h1>
+<p>6.1 When a new subproject proposal is submitted to the PMC, it may be accepted 
+by unanimous vote of the PMC.</p>
+<p>6.2 A subproject may be removed by unanimous vote of the PMC, subject to the 
+approval of the ASF board. </p>
+<h1 id="7-contributors">7 CONTRIBUTORS</h1>
+<p>7.1 Like all Apache projects, the Apache XML Graphics project is a meritocracy
+-- the more work you do, the more you are allowed to do. Contributions will 
+include participating in mailing lists, reporting bugs, providing patches and 
+proposing changes to a product.</p>
+<p>7.2 Contributors who make regular and substantial contributions may become 
+committers as described below.</p>
+<h1 id="8-committers">8 COMMITTERS</h1>
+<p>8.1 Each subproject has a set of committers. Committers are contributors who 
+have read/write access to the source code repository. </p>
+<p>8.2 Normally, a new committer is added after a contributor has been nominated by 
+a committer and approved by at least 50 percent of the active committers for 
+that subproject with no opposing votes. In the case that a subproject has a very 
+small number of active committers, the PMC may choose to require a PMC 
+resolution to approve the nomination of a contributor by one of the active 
+committers in that subproject. All committers must have a signed Contributor 
+License Agreement on file with the Secretary of the Corporation. Since, in most 
+cases, contributors will already have contributed significant amounts of code, 
+this should usually have been done before nomination.</p>
+<p>8.3 Committers have write access to the primary subproject by which they have 
+been nominated as well as the area for common components, if any. A committer 
+may be elected to multiple subprojects.</p>
+<p>8.4 For the purposes of voting, committers will be classed as "active" or 
+"inactive". Only active committers will be included in the totals used to 
+determine the success or failure of a particular vote, and only active 
+committers can be members of the PMC.</p>
+<p>8.5 Committers remain active as long as they are contributing code or posting to 
+the subproject mailing lists. If a committer has neither contributed code nor 
+posted to the subproject mailing lists in 3 months, the PMC chair may e-mail the 
+committer, the subproject development list, and the PMC mailing list notifying 
+the committer that they are going to be moved to inactive status. If there is 
+no response in 72 hours, the committer will become inactive, and may be removed 
+from the PMC mailing list.</p>
+<p>8.6 An inactive status will not prevent a committer committing new code changes 
+or posting to the mailing lists. Either of these activities will automatically 
+re-activate the committer for the purposes of voting.</p>
+<h1 id="9-infrastructure">9 INFRASTRUCTURE</h1>
+<p>9.1 The Apache XML Graphics project relies on the Apache XML project and the 
+Apache Infrastructure project for the following:</p>
+<p>a) Bug Database -- This is a system for tracking bugs and feature requests.</p>
+<p>b) Subproject Source Repositories -- These are several repositories containing 
+   both the source code and documentation for the subprojects. </p>
+<p>c) Website -- The xmlgraphics.apache.org website will contain information about 
+   the Apache XML Graphics project, including documentation, downloads of 
+   releases, and this charter. Each subproject will have its own website with 
+   subproject information.</p>
+<p>d) PMC Mailing List -- This list is for PMC business requiring
+   confidentiality, particularly when an individual or company requests
+   discretion. All other PMC business should be done on the general
+   mailing list.</p>
+<p>e) General Mailing List -- This mailing list is open to the public. It is
+   intended for discussions that cross subprojects.</p>
+<p>f) Subproject Mailing Lists -- Each subproject (except for common components) 
+   should have at least one devoted mailing list. Many subprojects may wish to 
+   have both user and dev (development) lists. The individual subprojects may 
+   decide on the exact structure of their mailing lists.</p>
+<h1 id="10-licensing">10 LICENSING</h1>
+<p>10.1 All contributions to the Apache XML Graphics project adhere to the Apache 
+Software Foundation License, v.2.0 (http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0). 
+All further contributions must be made under the same terms. </p>
+<p>10.2 When a committer is considering integrating a contribution from a 
+contributor who has no CLA on file with the Corporation, it is the 
+responsibility of the committer, in consultation with the PMC, to conduct due 
+diligence on the pedigree of the contribution under consideration.</p>
+<h1 id="11-the-development-process">11 THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS</h1>
+<p>11.1 The development process is intentionally lightweight; like other Apache 
+projects, the committers decide which changes may be committed to the 
+repository. Three +1 ('yes' votes) with no -1 ('no' votes or vetoes) are needed 
+to approve a significant code change. For efficiency, some code changes from 
+some contributors (e.g. feature additions, bug fixes) may be approved in 
+advance, in which case they may be committed first and changed as needed, with 
+conflicts resolved by majority vote of the committers.</p>
+<h1 id="12-subproject-requirements">12 SUBPROJECT REQUIREMENTS</h1>
+<p>12.1 Each subproject should have a set of requirements as well as an up-to-date 
+release plan and design document on its dedicated web page.</p>
+<p>12.2 It is recommended that each subproject have a smoke-test system that works 
+at least as a basic integration test.</p>
+<h1 id="13-relationship-to-other-apache-projects">13 RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER APACHE PROJECTS</h1>
+<p>13.1 The Apache XML Graphics project should work closely with other Apache 
+projects, such as XML, Jakarta and the Apache Server, to avoid redundancy and 
+achieve a coherent architecture among Apache XML Graphics and these projects.</p></div></div>
