This is a reminder that the volunteer XProc 3.0 working group will meet in Aachen this week and a notice that the weather will be quite chilly and rainy. If you are staying not too far from Aachen and haven’t yet planned on going there (and if weather prospects don’t deter you), please consider joining us in Aachen spontaneously: https://github.com/xproc/Workshop-2017-09/wiki If you, like yours truly, think that p:with-input, instead of an overloaded p:input for connections, would have made learning XProc easier for you, this is the opportunity to make your voice heard: https://github.com/xproc/Workshop-2017-09/wiki/Renaming-p:input-to-p:with%E2%80%93input-for-port-connections I’m sure there will be more bikeshedding opportunities, but also pretty substantial discussions, for example on the topic of representing non-XML documents. It will be the 3rd workshop this year, after Prague in February and London in June, where we will be discussing non-XML documents (JSON, images, zip archives, …). If this doesn’t convince you yet, you might be interested in standardizing importing user-defined XPath functions written in XQuery or XSLT (http://www.xml-project.com/documentation/morgana-userguide/using-self-defined-functions-in-morganaxproc/). No matter what arcane sub-topic your current interest in XProc pertains to – most importantly, you will meet fellow XProckers, a rare species, in Aachen. –Gerrit
