Apache Xerces Project as my GSOC 2010 project

I am really busy in these days as I'm creating the background for the project "Implementing a streamable subset of XPointer xpointer() scheme for XInclude" which is one of the Apache Xerces project idea for GSOC 2010.
While I was creating the Member Describer plugin for Anjuta IDE I worked with libxml parser and I had a determination to implement my own xml parser one day.So I think working with this apache project will give me a great support to achieve my target one day.On the other hand this apache project will help to motivate my open source development capabilities as well.
So far I had a self study on prevailing XPath expressions and I also went through the xerces source code by checking out the xerces trunk.Anyway I hope that I will be lucky enough to hold this project and to actively support the fully development with the help from Michael who is the assigned mentor for this project.
