Welcome back Fotis! Oder soll ich sagen: Herr Doktor Jannidis? ;-) It looks like we need to update the "implemented" list too, at least when/before we do the next release, since lots of stuff has been happening lately. Redesign: personally, I haven't forgotten about it at all, but I've put it down temporarily while doing a bunch of table fixes and new functionality (spanning rows and vertical alignment - finally!) that seemed necessary to keep our user base working while the redesign goes on. I'm sure Keiron and Arved will have their words to put in, but it looks to me as though they've been working on a lot of "fundamentals" - adding properties and FOs - so that we can move closer towards compliance. I think there is still agreement that FOP layout code will need major revisiting in order to solve any kind of tough pagination problem (floats, footnotes, keeps, correct inter-element spacing, full implementation of "collapse" style table borders... among others). But there is obviously also a need to keep supporting the current thread of development which is letting lots of folks do their work, even without all that fancy stuff.
