Gamma 2.0 is available for download: ftp://download.gnu.org.ua/pub/release/gamma/gamma-2.0.tar.gz.

Expat: writing XML Parsers

The expat module is an interface to the libexpat library. Using it you can easily write parsers for arbitrary XML documents. In particular, this module was used for creating http://ellinika.gnu.org.ua.
