    Is the project dead, or is it considered completed?

    Thanks!

      The original developers have moved on to other things, but I believe Matt LeClair, a new(ish) project admin still has interest in keeping the project going. So I wouldn't call it dead; perhaps "sleeping" is more accurate. If you want to help wake it up, I suggest you submit a patch. Also, note these previous discussions:

      In the meantime, you might want to check out HR-XSL. It's definitely awake; I just released a minor update last week.

      And as for whether XML Resume is "completed", remember that software is *never* finished, especially not open-source software.

      I'm interested in keeping this project going.  I'm only just starting to learn XML and XSLT, but I'm absolutely loving it.  I'm also extremely experienced with semantic markup and CSS, and I think I might be able to add some polish to at least the HTML output.  It might just rejuvenate a little interest. :)

      May I join the dev team?

      Hello again.  I decided to visit back and see how things are going.  Looks like they're about the same.

      I'm a lot more comfortable with XSLT now, so if any admins read this, I'm still ready, able, and willing to join devs for this project. :)

        If you still don't get any response from the project admins, you might consider submitting an Abandoned Project Takeover request:

        https://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=30513&group_id=1#takeover

        I don't know of any other way to get this project moving forward again.

        Also keep in mind that the HR-XSL project is still going strong. Since 2003, it's had 9 releases, while xmlresume has had 0. See:

        http://hr-xsl.sourceforge.net/

          If you are still interested, and cannot get any response from the project admins, then please do consider submitting an Abandoned Project Takeover request.

          Unfortunately, I only have developer status, and as such I don't think I am able help.

          Also I have no spare time (or any need) right now for this project.
