Looking for an XSLT community

I do a lot of XSLT programming. I also do Java, PL/SQL, JavaScript, and a few others. I can easily find communities of Java and JavaScript programmers via the web. PL/SQL is a little more difficult, but between OTN and AskTom, I do pretty well. But XSLT seems to be neglected to me. Where do you go for XSLT? I know about W3Schools, and its great, but I'm beyond tutorials.

While SO is a great community, it is telling that the tags for this question have a combined usage of a only 188.

From stackoverflow

• not sure if it is still active, but you might find http://www.exslt.org/ interesting.

  dacracot : Latest news post on that site was over two years ago... 09/05/2006... but thanks.

• Stackoverflow, of course!

  Altova has some impressive looking XML tools. I often see them listed in Google's results when I am looking for general XML help. A quick search on their site gave a decent looking list of XSLT docs.

  dacracot : Yeah, yeah... SO... I knew someone would say that. And I don't need a tool, I need a community.

  dacracot : Not saying that SO is just a tool, and its a great community, but it is not XSLT oriented, it anything and everything oriented. Altova's stuff is the tool I refer to.

  Jason Z : Stackoverflow is a community, and Altova's forums appear to meet the critera of a community as well.

  dacracot : I guess my point is that their forum for XSLT is labeled: "Creating, debugging and executing XSLT and XQuery stylesheets with Altova products"... sounds like a tool forum, hence the "with Altova products".

• microsoft.public.xsl looks active. If newsgroups are your kind of thing.

  dacracot : Am I gonna get flamed there since I use Java and Oracle's XDK?

  Tomalak : Not, if you don't mention it. ;-) No, of course not. It is about XSL, not about Microsoft.

• The xsl-list is really active, and a lot of the big names in XSLT (such as Michael Kay) participate.

• The xsl-list is the mailing list dedicated to XSLT questions.

  XSLT questions are often submitted and answered:

  • in the Saxon mailing list (for questions related to the Saxon XSLT (1.0 and 2.0) processors)

  • in the xml-dev mailing list.

  • in the comp.text.xml newsgroup

  • in the microsoft newsgroups: microsoft.public.xslt, microsoft.public.xml and microsoft.public.dotnet.xml

  Hope this helped.

  Cheers,
