This way, approximately the same amount of work as fixing all FLTK2's bugs (and trust me; I only fixed four or five in the file chooser and it took me a month) is done but we have an almost-working 3.0 where *everyone* can work on the same thing, rather than some of us on 1.3 and some of us on

I have to say, the FLTK development process is a total cluster if you guys don't even have a clue that you already have this in 2.0. Pick a path and stick to it. I don't care a lick about which damn namespace you pick. Maybe I'll just fork 2.0 and let y'all fight over which namespace to

In fact, Cairo works pretty well in fltk2. My application torapp guilloche designer (www.torapp.info) uses cairo exclusively. I'm also one of people who is willing to help maintaining fltk2 but getting a developer status seems too hard for me. but how well tested it is is anyones guess - I'm

To get started, you might want to search for the 7 outstanding Cairo STRs in FLTK2 and check whether they are still open. If so, and you can find a fix, attach an 'svn diff' patch file to the STR. It's as easy as that to get started. The other chicken and egg thing is that there don't
