xmlhack: developer news from the XML community


What is xmlhack.com?

  xmlhack.com is a web site covering essential news, issues, opinions
  and programming advice from the XML developer community.

  It aims to:

	 * provide succinct and informative summaries of current issues and
	   emerging technologies in the XML world

	 * promote XML and its uses among developers: particularly with
	   those who don't have the time to read five mailing lists every
	   day!

	 * recognize and reflect the distinct flavor of the XML community

	 * cover discussions as well as projects

	 * help new users find their way among the hundreds of different
	   directions XML is going

	 * give developers another way to find related projects and
	   cross-pollinate ideas


Why another XML site?

  There are some excellent XML resources already on the web, such as
  Robin Cover's XML/SGML pages. Why do we think there ought to be
  another?

	 * Accessibility: it requires a lot of time to get deeply into XML
	   development issues. By reading xmlhack you get plain-language
	   introductions to technical matters before diving into the
	   detailed stuff.

	 * Community: we want to create somewhere that reflects the humor,
	   expertise and opinions of XML developers.

	 * Timeliness: xmlhack will help readers find projects and
	   discussions as they happen.

	 * Depth: xmlhack will provide context for news without requiring
	   readers to spend hours poring over a story.
