Yes, we should definitely start to redesign the current XML layer of
ozone. The rapid evolution of XML:DB (www.xmldb.org) and the discussions
on the Apache mailinglists show that there is the real need for an XML
database project under OS license. We gained much experience with the
current arch and have several ideas to improve it that we would like to
share with all other developers.
You're right. Nothing, except a proposal for a new architecture, is done
so far. So there is a real chance for interested developers to jump in
and contribute their knowledge from the beginning. And we should start
to collect the requirements the users have.
So, guys, what are your needs and requirements for your XML application?
What should a database provide regarding XML functionality?
