An era has ended :-)

[Dean Roddey <dr...@charmedquark.com>]

I just wanted to let everyone know that, as of monday 4/23/2000, I've left
IBM for a new job at Portal (a whole block away, but I do have to cross the
road now.) So, as a result, I won't be the person driving the internal
architecture of the Xerces-C parser. I will continue to watch this mailing
list, though I've just now subscribed at home so I won't see anything posted
between mid-day friday and now (sunday evening.) I will also continue to
offer help and do some bug fixing if necessary during the transitional
period until the team at IBM has a chance to pick up the code. But I won't
be answering the bulk of the questions anymore or doing any significant
development work, since I just won't have the time (because my new job
involves a lot of stuff I know squat about and I'll be spinning up like a
crazy man.)

And, as the Xerces-C community has grown a good bit lately, I'm sure that,
if the open source thing really works as described, that there will come
along folks who will be interested in moving the product forward.
