I am C / C++ guy, sort of,

I'd like to help. Quite honestly:I have very little knowledge of the  
big picture about XML, XSLT and related technologies. I have used  
libxml2 recently, see my site  
http://www.gregerhaga.net/qxrss-1.2.6-dox for my rss reader, which  
uses it ( perhaps in a stupid way but still*grin*).

So:what can i do to contribute? What is the learning curve like for an  
almost newbie in XML but with experience from C?
