Subject: Re: precious little press
Schemas by themselves are pretty abstract, and talk of alternatives to an existing Rec border on the obscure to many editors; not unimportant, just, like talk of topic maps, bordering on the academic. However, I'd recommend dropping Simon St. Laurent a note on this, if he isn't aware of it already - he's not a big fan of XML Schema in the first place, he and Ed Dumbill over at XML.COM are tight, and he's generally good at explaining topics. I'm still digesting Trex, but I can probably write up something for XML Magazine on comparative schemas - I owe them an article anyway - and that would be a good place to get Trex into the mainstream. I've also been asked to cover a couple of chapters for a Wrox schema book, so I'll press to make sure that Trex/Relax is at least mentioned there ... that one's a little more problematic as their close to deadline, but we may be able to swing it. -- Kurt Cagle ----- Original Message ----- From: "Norman Walsh" <ndw@nwalsh.com> To: "Michael Fitzgerald" <mike@wyeast.net> Cc: "TREX" <trex@lists.oasis-open.org> Sent: Thursday, May 17, 2001 9:38 AM Subject: Re: precious little press > / Michael Fitzgerald <mike@wyeast.net> was heard to say: > | I must say I am surprised that the unification of Relax and Trex has not > | gotten much press, not even on XMLHack.
