Sounds good to me Glenn. I'm definitely supportive of moving to Maven. The
question is should we do a bug fix release now or wait until you've
finished porting the projects to Maven?

Let's go ahead with a bugfix release first. Do we have any volunteers?
Simon,  have you done a release yet? Perhaps you could work with Luis on
this? First, you will need to do a vote.

I would have helped but Simon was too fast... But I will check the release.
Thanks,

Chris

I would also support a bugfix release. As for a JDK upgrade, I'm fine with
holding off on that until we have a survey and better rationale for an
upgrade.

I am more interested in effecting a transition to maven in the shorter
term, which I have been working on in branches to be eventually merged to
trunk.

Hi All,
As previously discussed I'm -1 on upgrading the JDK at this time. I will
change my vote if evidence gathered via a survey shows no one is using
the
older JDKs. Since FOP is a server side process, my experience is that it
is
run on a lot of older systems, like AIX, HP-UX, etc. It is very difficult
to patch these system up to such later JDKs, and so we may prevent a lot
of
users from using/upgrading FOP. And for what benefit? What does the later
JDK give us, that JDK 6 doesn't already have? The benefit seems very
minimal versus the potential cost

Thanks,

Chris

+1 for a pre-release party (FOP and/or Batik release before JDK upgrade)
+1 for JDK upgrade, assuming there're community-wide VOTEs (2-weeks?
1-month? Lazy consensus?)

Cheers!

Happy New Year folks!

Subject: My Goals for XML Graphics Project

Fellow Team,

I'd like to share some of my ideas for improving the XML Graphics
projects as we move forward:

     - transition writeable source repository from SVN to GIT, making
SVN a
     slave to the latter
     - transition build, test, and deployment system from Ant to Maven
     - update minimum JDK to 7 or perhaps even 8
     - enable findbugs (from Maven site goals) by default
     - convert non-Junit tests (batik) to Junit
     - improve test coverage
     - triage bug list
     - revisit documentation, in its format, deployment, and content

Overall, I want to bring XML Graphics more up to date with other
"modern"
Apache Project practices and tool sets.

Please feel free comment on these matters.

Regards,
Glenn
