Call for maintainers: XML support, bug fixing

Our external maintainers effort has been extremely successful so far: thanks to the great help of the Scala community, several previously neglected components of the Scala system are being refreshed and improved at a surprising pace. However, we are still looking for help with a few remaining modules. Specifically, our XML infrastructure would benefit from some updates: if you are an XML wizard, and you are keen on Scala, this is the right task for you!

If you are unsure about maintaining a whole module, you can of course look at our Trac database, where in particular several smaller issues are assigned to scala_community. Just investigate any of the open tickets, and start writing your code; you can easily obtain from here the Scala source code (also from SVN) and set up your development system (also using an IDE). The rest of the Scala community will be happy to assist you with your work. All contributions are welcome!!
