[xml] Experiences with adopting XML technologies in a project?

["Christopher Oezbek" <c oezbek gmail com>]

Hello Libxml-Users,

I am trying to figure out (as part of my PhD thesis) how technologies and  
APIs like LibXML make their way into Free/Open Source projects and how  
they get introduced and adopted.

I would love to hear about your experiences with putting libxml (or new  
dataformats in general) to use in a project, both from the technical side  
as well as from social side of things and have put together a small survey  
(11 questions, which should take max. 15 minutes) that ask you for your  
experiences in putting such ideas into reality. (The questions are more  
generic and also apply when you convinced your project to switch to  
Subversion, choose a plug-in architecture, or failed to switch to a  
different license).

The libxml2-list is one of the first lists I am contacting with this,
so it might be that the survey contains some questions that are difficult
to understand or misleading. If you find something that needs correcting,
please let me know, ASAP.

Thank you very much, your participation is much appreciated!
