I'm still planning to release PyXML 0.7.0 some time in the future.

No, unless you give more detail what kind of improvements you plan,
and what kind of bugs you want to see fixed. Except for what is on SF,
I'm not aware of any potential improvements or any desirable bug
fixes.

> 	What is the way to contribute ? 

If you want to contribute patches or report bugs, please use
sf.net/projects/pyxml. For general discussions, this is the right
place.

Can you give details?

> 	- there is a plan to do some XSLT processor engine ?

Yes, PyXML 0.7 will ship with 4XSLT. Please note that you can get
4XSLT today from www.4suite.org (as part of the 4Suite package).

> 	-how can we extend the documentation ?

Submit patches.

Did you read the tutorial? This explains both aspects. Of course,
contributions of documentation are greatly welcome. Please submit them
to SF.

Thanks. I assume you are using Expat here, so the glory actually goes
to James Clark and the current maintainers of Expat.

Regards,
Martin
