Hi Eric,
I admire you're enthusiasm and as always I highly respect your work for
OpenOffice.org ... but :-)
You again mix two different points here. We all agree that we need
seamless svg clipart support in OpenOffice.org. This is out of the
question and completely separate from the second question... Do
we need more svg in ODF? Do we need ODF at all if we can enhance SVG
to support all needed features? Do we use ODF as a framework and
do all the 'graphic' stuff with svg? This is independent from choosing
which implementation will render svg in the office. This is also
nothing your given set of people will agree on for various reasons.
One party says that ODF is impotent and the other says it would
rather use a proprietary format rather than ODF, how can we even
think about discussing this point?
About the technical aspect which engines to choose, I think we
just have to try some out. Is rsvg enough? I already had a look
at it many weeks ago and yes it would be easy to integrate but it
lacks features compared to Mozilla or the Webkit implementation.
Since svg is a heck of a complex format (how many 100% implementations
are there? I would say 0 at the moment) we should choose the project
that has the most active developers working on. Currently I would
say that is Mozilla and Webkit. But since rsvg would be the easiest
to implement, maybe we should start with this to get a decent
support for static svg cliparts.
Regards,
Christian
