|
dedicated to providing robust, full-featured, commercial-quality, and
|
|
freely available XML parsers and closely related technologies

on a wide variety of platforms supporting several languages. 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.

2.1 Apache Xerces 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 XML
|
|
parsers and closely related technologies in order to engender such
|
|
improvements.
|
|
</P>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
2.2 The Apache Xerces parsers 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 Xerces parsers 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 Xerces
|
|
parsers
|
|
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.

3.1 The code base which formed the foundations of both the
|
|
Xerces-Java and Xerces-C++ subprojects of the Apache XML Project
|
|
was originally donated to Apache by IBM in 1999. Xerces-Perl
|
|
came into existence as a subproject of the Apache XML project
|
|
after the Xerces-C++ community had already matured to a
|
|
significant extent. All three 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
|
|
Xerces became a top-level Project of the Apache Software
|
|
Foundation. Apache Xerces 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.

5.1 The Apache Xerces 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 Xerces 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).
|
|
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>
|
|
b) Facilitating code or other donations by individuals or companies,
|
|
in collaboration with the Incubator.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>
|
|
c) Resolving license issues and other legal issues in conjunction with
|
|
the ASF board.
|
|
</P><P>
|
|
d) Ensuring that administrative and infrastructure work is completed.
|
|
</P><P>
|
|
e) Facilitating relationships among subprojects and other Apache projects.
|
|
</P><P>
|
|
f) Facilitating relationships between Apache Xerces and the external
|
|
world.
|
|
</P><P>
|
|
g) Overseeing Apache Xerces to ensure that the mission defined in
|
|
this document is being fulfilled.
|
|
</P><P>
|
|
h) Resolving conflicts within the project.
|
|
</P><P>
|
|
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.

7.1 Like all Apache projects, the Apache Xerces 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 In order to ensure that all code contained in the Apache
|
|
Xerces project's code repository is free of licensing,
|
|
intellectual property and patent issues, any developer wishing
|
|
to contribute a new feature to Xerces must either sign:
|
|
|
|
</P><P>
|
|
a) If contributing as an individual, sign the "Individual
|
|
Contributor License Agreement (CLA)"
|
|
(http://www.apache.org/licenses/icla.txt) and file a copy with
|
|
the Secretary of the Corporation; or
|
|
</P><P>
|
|
b) If making the contribution as part of their employment
|
|
responsibilities, sign the "Corporate CLA (CCLA)",
|
|
(http://www.apache.org/licenses/cla-corporate.txt) and file a
|
|
copy with the Secretary of the Corporation.
|
|
|
|
</P><P>
|
|
7.3 If the contribution in question is a small bugfix, the
|
|
contributor need not sign a CLA, but need only provide the
|
|
following information, attaching it to the communication
|
|
containing the patch:
|
|
|
|
</P><P>
|
|
a) Name and employer
|
|
</P><P>
|
|
b) Are you the author of the code being contributed?
|
|
</P><P>
|
|
c) Do you have the right to grant the copyright and patent

licenses for the contribution that are set forth in the ASF v.2.0
|
|
license (http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0)?
|
|
</P><P>
|
|
d) Does your employer have any rights to code that you have
|
|
written, for example, through your contract for employment? If
|
|
so, has your employer given you permission to contribute the code
|
|
on its behalf or waived its rights in the code?
|
|
</P><P>
|
|
e) Are you aware of any third-party licenses or other

|
restrictions (such as related patents or trademarks) that could
|
|
apply to your contribution? If so, what are they?

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 Although committers have write access to all Apache Xerces
|
|
subprojects,
|
|
they are only permitted to make changes to the subprojects to which they
|
|
have been elected committers. A committer may be elected to multiple
|
|
subprojects, but, except that no new access need be granted, the
|
|
process is the same as for any other contributor.
|
|
|
|
</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 are part 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, and necessitate their addition to the PMC mailing list.

</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 -- A xerces.apache.org website will contain information about
|
|
the Apache Xerces 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 should have at least one
|
|
devoted mailing
|
|
list. Many subprojects may wish to have both user and development
|
|
lists. The individual subprojects may decide on the exact structure of
|

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.

13.1 The Apache Xerces 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 Xerces and these
|
|
projects.
