Re: [VOTE]: motion to transform Xerces into a top-level project as a member of the "federation" of XML projects

Incidentally, the Batik team has been kind of quiet lately--Batik-Dev 
and Batik-User emails haven't been getting responded to by Thomas or 
Vincent for some time now.  Thomas has been silent for about a month 
[1]--actually a concern for me, as this is quite unusual--and it appears 
that Vincent doesn't subscribe to the Batik lists anymore [2]--at any 
rate, emails that would appear to motivate a response are not getting 
answered. [3]. 

The formation of an XML Graphics TLP may allow us to provide more 
support to Batik when needed, thankfully, we have a growing group of 
committers on FOP.
