Hi all...
Sorry to insist, but what is your final decision? A quick summary of the thread gives:
- Jeremias +1
- Simon +1
- Glen +0
- Chris +1 (attached below)
The FOray+aXSL stuff would be used in the form of a jar file put in the lib directory; FOray's avalon loggers would be wrapped into a JCL adapter for now.
So?

It would've been better to forward the original VOTE message (attached at the bottom for completeness), otherwise it's a little bit stickier, since these 'votes' are scattered amongst two threads... (which is why I replied to the original thread...)
Anyway... +1 from me!

Thank you for insisting. I think it would be a great advantage if FOP used the Font module developed in FORay. So heres my +1
thread gives:
- Jeremias +1
- Simon +1
- Glen +0

I'm happy with that.

I wish you had asked before diving into this. Before FOray-Font can be
integrated with FOP we need to have a vote on this among the committers
and frankly, I'm sure such a thing will cost a lot of energy. I'm not
going to push in that direction without any hint of support from at
least two other committers around here. I hope we will get more opinions.
I am catching up on my email, and reading this thread several days
after the fact. I did not see a reaction to Jeremias' above request.
In general I am all for sharing an implementation of a piece of
functionality that can be accessed via an agreed interface. Font
services are really a good candidate. I have not studied FOray-Font,
but I follow Jeremias' judgement on this that it is better than what
we have now. Therefore I am in favour of using FOray-Font for
satisfying FOP's font requirements.
As long as FOray-Font is released under the Apache license, I believe
that FOP should not have a problem with it, even if FOP would not have
any control over it, as long as the implementation satisfies us. As
soon as it does not, the license allows us to take a snapshot of the
sources and go our own way. That is how I understand open source and
the Apache license. I do not quite understand why we would need a
grant. But even if so, Victor is willing to give one.
That is my stand point. If this were a vote, my vote would be +1.
Regards, Simon
