[uf-dev] Status/Updates...

[Brian Suda]

I did manage to get my HG access working just fine and i have
committed some updated test files. I am now working on getting all the
XSLTs into some logical place to then also commit them. (that should
be soon).

My XSLT files need some debugging. I have managed to get them to work
just fine with XSLTPROC locally, but then when i use PHP's
XSLTTransform() things don't always work. Then i also tried them with
the W3C's new XSLT2 service and they don't work at all[1]. So once i
get things committed, if anyone has more experience with XSLT2 i might
need some help chasing-up bugs - i get an error[2]:

Using org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser
Exception java.lang.NullPointerException
null.

Also, there is an interesting article about Creating Passionate
Users[3]. It tries to talk about why jargon is a good thing...
basically, the points that got me were that they argued NOT to
dumb-down to newbies, but to stick with the jargon and aim higher.
There has been/is a long thread about splitting/creating mailing lists
for newbies, or restating things better for new comers to the lists. I
know this is the DEV list, but i'd rather spend my time having
conversations here, than on the discuss list at the moment. Thoughts?
