[xquery-talk] Re: Galax, XQuery! and schema type matching

[Vitali Gontsharuk]

Hi Philippe,

I'm sorry for the delayed answer.
I tried to subscribe to the mailing list and also sent a message to it, but
I got an error message that I'm not registered and that the admin of the
list would decide whether to publish my message. The mailing list system
does not seem to work properly. I used this email address:
galax-users at research.att.com, I subscribed with my " in.tum.de"-email.
Here is the message which I got:

I also published a bug report #75 on the galax bugzilla site:
http://bugzilla.galaxquery.net/show_bug.cgi?id=75
but there still is no answer to it, although about two weeks have passed :(
What is the current state of the development? How long could it
approximately last until someone starts handling it?

How about the type matching function? Do I also have to somehow activate
this feature as this is handled in saxon? Or is the function not available?

Thanks in advance,
Vitali Gontsharuk
