This is it. Just to make it clear again: This is a a release vote and therefore a PMC vote, but every FOP committer is invited to place his vote or raise any objections. Noone gets ignored. Although fop-dev is in the CC, please place your votes on [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Even though I haven't fully finished all of the documentation, yet, I'd like to start the vote. I'll have everthing finished by tomorrow evening (CET). I don't intend to do any more code changes, only the last documentation updates. http://wiki.apache.org/xmlgraphics-fop/ReleasePlanFirstPR shows the release plan and the status of the proceedings. I know of no legal problems needing attention. The external dependencies are well documented and every JAR in the lib directory is accompanied by its license. Hyphenation files have been removed. The unknown origin of some long-existing example FO files is not a problem IMO. 0.90alpha1 will carry a big warning sign in the README file that the software is a preview release and should not be used in production unless thoroughly tested for the target environment. It is intended to let everybody know that FOP is back in business and to produce feedback on our new piece of software from users that don't (or can't) download the code from SVN. I'd like to propose to release FOP SVN Trunk as version 0.90alpha1. +1 from me, obviously. Jeremias Maerki
