Errr--I apologize--I forgot that we had already agreed
to use Avalon for configuration [1].  Sorry/Never
mind...

 Why do you need to drag in the Avalon library for
 this?  For the classes in question, Avalon is just
 providing a very thin wrapper--can't we do this
 directly against the JDK?

Meeting Bertrand

2004-07-10 Thread Peter B. West
Foplings,
On Monday last, the 5th, Jenni and I met Bertrand for coffee at Mt 
Coot-tha, one of the surface irregularities of Brisbane dignified with 
the name Mountain.  It does, however, offer a wonderful view of much of 
the city and surrounds.  Bertrand and family were preparing to depart 
for a drive up the coast to Cairns, with spot of whale-watching at 
Hervey Bay.

It was peculiarly exciting to meet face-to-face one of my FOP 
colleagues, and underlines what a strange work environment we inhabit. 
Here's to good, cheap hypersonic travel.

So far, I've met Bertrand and Jörg. No surprise as they live within about
120km of my place. :-) It's really interesting what difference it makes
to have someone directly in front of you. Too bad, Skype still doesn't
have video conferencing support. Anyone already using a video conference
application? Hardware and bandwidth available here. That would be a good
work-around until we have cheap hypersonic travel. Still hoping for
beaming to become available

 Have another look at the API proposals in the old
 Wiki.
  

http://nagoya.apache.org/wiki/apachewiki.cgi?FOPAvalonization
 

Well, a bit too expansive for my (personal) tastes, at
least for 1.0--but to be candid, much of it I still
don't understand.  Regardless, the resources we have
for 1.0 IMO should be focusing on other areas
(fo's/layout/renderers) at this time.  Perhaps another
reason for my recommendation for a spartan API
similar to what we now have for 0.20.5.  

Our inputs I see for 1.0:

--XSL FO document (or xml/xslt)
--preferred render type
--FOUserAgent and UserConfiguration, whatever portions
of functionality/coding in each.

That should be enough for us in 1.0, no?  Those more
elaborate API goals appear best discussed post-1.0,
presumably once more vital parts of the system have
been addressed.  

More thoughts, anyone?  Simon, what would you be
comfortable with API-wise in 1.0?

Thanks,
Glen
