GSoC 2008 : XSLT Processor

XSLT Processor (GSOC 2008) Hi Everybody, I would like to introduce myself and give an overview for the Google Summer of code, 2008 Accepted project XSLT Processor ( http://code.google.com/soc/2008/exist/about.html). I am postgraduagte student, attending Masters in Software Systes from DLPD, Birla Institute of Technology, Pilani, India. I have 4 years of working experience in Software development using the J2EE technologies. Currently I am employed with Cordys R&D and am involved in developing of BPMS suite. This is my first project with eXist and also with open source and feely honoured to be part of open source code development, and have understand is both a challenge and commitment, I believe will keep the commitment for long time. In this summer project, I will be working to implement XSLT Processor for the eXist Database. Shortly: eXist open source XML Database has in built support for XQuery and XPath parsing. Currently, eXist supports transformation of XML's with the use of external XSLT processor, which is configurable to operate with multiple processors. However, as I believe, the XSLT processor, is dependent on both the XQuery and XPath, and implementing XSLT Processor will make eXist compatible with XML Standards. Thanks for reading. Will be communicating more as I to work with my mentor ( Pierrick Brihaye).
