Still Here

Yes, the XProc Next group is still here, but most of the current discussion is around the test suite and happening on Github: https://github.com/xproc/3.0-test-suite. 

This will result in implementations that better conform to the community group reports – one of which was published in September last year and that is being updated. See https://xproc.org/specifications.html for the current versions, as well as other related information.

The community group had a physical meeting at XML Prague last year, the first after the pandemic, and another is planned for Markup UK in June this year. The editors also still meet regularly to revise the specifications.

Also note that the community group’s efforts have resulted in a book about the current spec, two implementations and greater adoption, with multiple companies adopting the standard. XProc is proving to be just what we need.
