commit to fop
bonjour fop-devs bertrand delacretaz told me you might welcome some help on fop. I would be pleased to contribute. *** why fop *** - i'm very interested in xml and java - i believe in open-source and wish to contribute to a project - bertrand told me you were a good team *** me *** you can get my background at www.oslutions.com/about *** documentation *** please could you tell me about the state of the following documentations: - xml.apache.org/fop/dev: this documentation refers to 0.20, right? - cvs/... /xdocs/DnI: simon, thanks a lot for your xdoc DnI, it really helped me diving into the code. some parts of it have changed. i started to update it and made a patch for chapter 4.1 , you can find it attached to bug 33126. if it's useful for you, i'll continue. - fop-wiki (http://wiki.apache.org/xmlgraphics-fop/FOPProjectPages) seems pretty up to date. please tell me if FOPProjectTasks and FOPWorkEstimates are up to date. - are there some more key-docs? *** plans *** (thinking loud) i plan to start with some documentation update. i see there is a brand new site at xmlgraphics.apache.org/ to do. what about rtf-rendering? is peter herweg still active on it? i'm open, so please give me some hints on where i could start as i am pretty new to open-source developpment, please let me know if i'm doing things the right way. have a nice weekstart greetings from switzerland renaud

Mostly general FOP development info, but the design part is about FOP CVS HEAD aka 1.0dev aka redesign. - cvs/... /xdocs/DnI: simon, thanks a lot for your xdoc DnI, it really helped me diving into the code. some parts of it have changed. i started to update it and made a patch for chapter 4.1 , you can find it attached to bug 33126. if it's useful for you, i'll continue. I'll let Simon answer that. - fop-wiki (http://wiki.apache.org/xmlgraphics-fop/FOPProjectPages) seems pretty up to date. please tell me if FOPProjectTasks and FOPWorkEstimates are up to date. FOPProjectTasks is awfully out of date, but FOPWorkEstimates is up-to-date. I'm working on that task list ATM. Feel free to update FOPProjectTasks. - are there some more key-docs? not to my knowledge, except the XSL spec, of course. :-) *** plans *** (thinking loud) i plan to start with some documentation update. i see there is a brand new site at xmlgraphics.apache.org/ to do. Actually, there's not much to do there. The FOP and Batik sites stay where they are for the moment but may eventually move over under xmlgraphics.apache.org. Actually, it wouldn't be so bad if they did as long as we can do a proper redirection for people with bookmarks. what about rtf-rendering? is peter herweg still active on it? I'm afraid not. I've done a few things during the last months but haven't got much time for that part right now. But I'll get back to this part eventually. i'm open, so please give me some hints on where i could start We are, too. Tell us what you're interested in. A relatively easy thing to start with (if you like data formats) is to work on the PostScript and Java2D/AWT renderers. Or else, just pick something from a todo list and start hacking and sending patches against CVS HEAD. as i am pretty new to open-source developpment, please let me know if i'm doing things the right way. So far so good. Just ask if you need help. have a nice weekstart greetings from switzerland renaud Greetings from Lucerne Jeremias Maerki
Re: another nose for the grindstone
Mark, Project Defoe http://defoe.sourceforge.net/, formerly Fop alt-design, is focussed on a Java 2D renderer, robust and complete. By complete I mean, in particular, able to correctly handle last-page, keeps, table auto-layout and large files. Don't make the mistake of thinking that, because FOP has been around for a long time, it is only the place to be for open source XSL-FO development. Rather, ask why, if it has been around for such a long time, these problems haven't been solved. Don't make the mistake of thinking that all software problems are solved by simply applying more resources. Having said that, let me add that the project seems to have found its shepherd, in the form of Finn Bock. Many of the long-standing innovations of alt-design in the property handling have at last been introduced by Finn, who has the happy knack of being able to completely rewrite large chunks of FOP by applying a wide-ranging but complete set of changes. He may well solve FOP's remaining critical problems in the same way. The point is, that FOP needs a major design overhaul. I'm doing that at Defoe, and Finn is doing it, piecemeal, at FOP. His focus though is not on Java 2D, and getting a complete and robust implementation of the 2D renderer will depend on Finn's new design. If you want to know more about where FOP is headed, ask Finn. Defoe is Java 5.0 based. If that doesn't work for you, don't bother with Defoe. Otherwise, if you are interested in avenues for your XSL-FO development efforts, I am happy to talk to you. Peter Mark Brucks wrote: I'd like to join the fop development group. I've been an xsl/fop user for the last year or so (generating PDF), but several new projects I'm proposing have a need for a robust and complete awt renderer, and I'd like to devote some time to ensuring this happens. I have a little bit of time in the near term to commit to the project, and I hope much more time starting in the April time frame. I'd like to use the next 2 months to come up to speed, then dive in to serious work when more time is available. I need some advice. I've learned enough about xsl and fop to get my job done, but there are lots of holes in my knowledge base. I'd like to spend a little bit of time carefully reading the XSL spec. Should I read the XSL V1.1 working draft (in anticipation of things to come), or should I stick with the V1.0 recommendation (which I assume is what the new version of fop will implement). Do the development and design documents that are available on-line relate to the root/trunk/redesign version, or do they still describe the maintenance branch? Is there a development schedule or a prioritized list of features to be implemented? Is anybody else actively working on the awt rendered for the next release? Since this is my first foray into open-source development, any and all advice is welcome. Thanks - Mark Brucks
