After checking out the code and having more of a look at this library I
have a better understanding of what it is. This is a replacement of the
ImageIO library from sun, but the JAI library would still be required
for image manipulation.
What are the thoughts around using this library as part of built in
support into sling for image manipulation? The issue I see would be
that since this library is still in incubation that this would mean the
sling image bundle wouldn't be able to be released until this project
also comes out of incubation (correct me if I am wrong on this
point).... I also see that as a benefit for the Sanselan project as it
would help "push" it along.
Assuming there are no licensing issues with the JAI library (Bertrand
have you had a chance to look at this?) I will start to put together a
sling image bundle based around JAI and Sanselan.
Cheers
Bryce
P.S. Carsten given I will be using Sanselan in this bundle I will have
to get involved in the project ;)

Which looks interesting (though I have spent all of about 20 mins
looking at it). I do notice however that Carsten is set as lead on
this project in jira so maybe he might know something more about it?
Sanselan is a very nice project which allows you to read some images
and their meta data and to write a few formats. Its a pure java lib.
Maybe even pluggable?
Internally it's pluggable, but there's currently no way to add own
plugins.
But :) we're desperately looking for new ideas, improvements etc. So
you - and everyone else for course - is welcome to join the project.
Thanks
