To keep the community abreast of current developments of the project, I've linked SourceForge's RSS News feed (http://tinyurl.com/2ayp6) to the main page. The following are older news items that were not syndicated:
22-June-2003 After an extended hiatus (lead developer finally found a job) headway is again being made toward XMLResume 2.0. A new, XSD-based Schema that should fix many existing problems; increased focus on the HTML stylesheet; and an honest-to-goodness real-live web service to make creating an XMLResume as simple as filling out a form. Anyone interested in developing XSD or the new XSLT should contact Mark.
27-November-2002: By popular demand, we present ORC, the Online Rsum Converter. Coinciding with this new feature is release 1.5.1, which includes several bug fixes, improved (again) internationalization support, and improved formatting functions. Also new is the People behind the XMLRsum Library section.
08-November-2002: Release 1.5.0 is available. This release provides improved localization support (including Spanish, Italian, French, and Brazilian), more formatting options, an updated user-guide, and the brand-new Java Targeting Filter.
16-July-2002: Release 1.4.2 is available. It is primarily a bug fix release, although it does include new support for formatting degree subjects as a comma-formatted list, as well as a new CSS stylesheet.
