Hi everyone,
> I’d just like to congratulate Helder Magalhães on being voted in as a > committer for the Apache Batik project! Thanks for the cheers up, everyone: I really appreciate it. ;-) I also take this opportunity to thank who have expressed trust [1] for my contributions; I hope to convince the remaining in the long run. :-) > Helder, perhaps you’d like to add yourself to > http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/batik/contributors.html and also the > Squiggle splash screen? :) > > Thanks too to Clay Leeds for organizing the vote. Clay has already gave a hand and add me to the contributors listing (thanks!). I should also mention (and thank) Simon Pepping for helping with other parts of the setup. :-) By coincidence, I had already thought about the splash screen (and added to my TODO list), but thanks for bringing it up. :-) Tightly related, I'm leaving my wish list, containing a set of short/medium-term aims (I'd like to do/help out): 1. Reduce the patch queue, looking into committing (at least) the set of trivial patches currently available; (I really feel something like a 1.7.1 or 1.8 release should be made available soon.) 2. Improve the documentation, fixing it and updating it to the reflect the current trunk status [2]; (I have a ton of typos and such waiting to be committed; also, there are a couple of candidate items to be added to the FAQ.) 3. Try to improve the regression tool, regard. (There was already some debate [3] on this, so I'll probably create a bug to track progress on this as Cameron suggested.) 4. Cleanup Sun proprietary stuff and/or improve GNU ClassPath compatibility (See bugs 38183 [4] and 46513 [5].) 5. Improve the JSVGCanvas applet demo in order to provide a cross-browser, high quality environment for SVG development/deployment (Maybe through resurrecting what seemed to be an official applet, dropped back in 2001 [6]... Can anybody recall why?) As usual, feedback to this list would be appreciated; similarly, proposing other actions which would be interesting to look at: I'm not saying that I'll pick them up, but there may be things slipping through my radar; also, others might find it valuable and jump in... ;-) Happy new year, Helder [1] http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/xmlgraphics-general/200912.mbox/%[email protected]%3e [2] https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=46202#c4 [3] http://old.nabble.com/Regard%3A-setup-and-results-td22853261.html [4] https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=38183 [5] https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=46513 [6] http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=199545 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
