[Jim Urban] As long as development of the C# version does interfere with the development of the Java version, I have no problem with people porting FOP to C#. However, I believe the primary effort should remain the Java version.

Of course, it's a given that the Apache Foundation's Java version of Batik (and FOP) will be the popular reference implementation, and with good reason. If those developers who are working on a C# port do have any back-influence on the Java version, it may be to contribute an abstraction proposal for a generalized Canvas, or other components that help Batik port easily to other rendering libraries. In C#'s case, it would be GDI+ on windows, and GTK# on Mono. Either library will probably present the same capabilities as Java's library for rendering SVG. What's good for C#-Batik would probably make an SDL-Batik possible, too. Or Python, and so on. And it would help FOP become more readily portable, which may be a more common need until SVG is as pervasive as PDF already is. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
