If you (or someone you know) like the concept of VTD-XML, think that it  
can  
help solve enterprises’ XML processing related issues (particularly  
those  
related to SOA), and would like to directly influence and contribute to  
the  
development of the future of Internet, please email me  
removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid). We are looking for open source software  
developers  
and project management people to take VTD-XML to the next level.
