Ok cool. I have other work I can do on my project. I've got my code
pushing down to Sanselan to pull the IImageMetadata out of a rich
byte[] and I'm using the ExifRewriter to place the metadata into a
naked byte[] produced from JAI. Once your IPTC writing code is done
it should fall into place. :)
Is there anything I can do to take some work off your plate? That
would give you more time to focus on IPTC writing which would of
course help me. :)
I was thinking about cleaning up the docs/website a bit. There are a
bunch of broken links and whatnot...

Hi Christopher,
Thanks for your interest in the project.
Writing (ie. removing, inserting and updating) IPTC to existing
JPGs is under active development (by me). I expect it to be checked
in within the next 3 months at the very latest.
The project doesn't have any formal established development
priorities. I'm personally working on IPTC support, as well as more
granular control over reading and writing images, elaborating the unit
test suite, improving the documentation, etc.
Thanks for getting involved.

I just incorporated sanselan into my application and it works great
for
enriching images with metadata from another file. It's perfect for
situations where you have to resize an image but wish to preserve
as much of
the metadata as possible. The one thing that's lacking is IPTC
writing.
Sanselan is able to read the IPTC metadata but it can't write it back
out...
I was just wondering ... is "writing IPTC" a priority for anyone?
If not,
what are the other priorities? I'm trying to figure out how long
I'll
possibly have to wait for this feature and if it would be worth
buying into
a commercial project if I really need this feature for my
application.
Thanks for the great work on Sanselan so far... I plan on
contributing to
the documentation and what-not as much as I can.
