Re: [xml] i'm here to contribute

["Eric S. Eberhard" <flash vicsmba com>]

I can and I can help you so it might be easy.  There was another 
abandoned open source project, libsoap, built using libxml2.  I got 
the latest version which did not even compile, let alone link.  I 
repaired for AIX and Linux ... in a sloppy way.  I have zero talent 
for Makefiles and install scripts and don't want to hassle with the 
other OSs ...

So ... if I gave you a tarball of this application (which is in 
production and works great) ... updating it for newer SOAP additions, 
and making it really a live application again, and maybe instead of 
separate, part of libxml (as an option) ... I think that would be great.

Or you could revive libsoap as standalone and see if anyone is 
interested.  It is so easy to use with libxml2 ... and I would 
contribute starting with my working version, and more.
