I am not a committer nor a developer of fop (but prepared to do some work) but mainly a user. However, here is my opinion on the matters raised.
1. I would like to see further maintenance releases on the 0.23 branch. Valuable (to various users) updates to the last release have been posted to this group already (background-image, logging, ...). These maintenance releases should continue until a release candidate for the redesigned fop becomes available and/or until user interest in this version of fop has disappeared and/or until nobody is willing to put any more effort into it. 2. The maintenance releases should concentrate on bug fixes and enhancements which fit easily into the current fop framework. Enhancements/bug fixes to problems which are hard/messy to fix within the current fop architecture and therefore were the triggers to the fop redesign effort should probably not be attempted. So in summary the objective would be to keep the current version alive and well to maintain user interest and enthusiasm for the product by providing updates and enhancements while at the same time the majority of effort should still be directed towards the redesign to address the fundamental problems with the current architecture.

Questions: Will there be another maintenance release before something comes out of the redesign? If so, when? Roadmap? If so, which should be the problems solved? Pick from above or add whatever you think should be added. .... --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
