Subject: XML-SIG: DOM code reaches CVS tree
Date: Mon, 05 Oct 98 10:17:46 GMT

Summary: A revised version of the Document Object Model has reached
the XML-SIG's CVS tree.  Users who wish to help with the development
process may want to try out the code, report bugs, and use CVS to
track the tree.

Details:
A while back, the XML-SIG's development tree was made available via
anonymous CVS.  For instructions on how to download the current tree,
see:
	http://www.python.org/sigs/xml-sig/anon-cvs.html

For a while I've been working on bringing the Python implementation of
the Document Object Model (http://www.w3.org/DOM/) into compliance
with the Level 1 Specification.  The DOM represents an XML document as
a tree, which can then be traversed and modified in various ways.  

I've finally implemented enough of the Specification to feel that it's
time to commit the code to the CVS tree, as of Sunday October 4.
There are still some unimplemented methods, and almost no docstrings,
and other missing pieces.  

However, the code is reaching that stage of completion at which
further development and bugfixing will proceed quickly.  The code will
only benefit from having more people hacking on it, so if you're
interested in helping out, just grab the CVS tree, compile and install
it, and let the XML-SIG know how it goes.
