Jeremias: > Any news on OpenType support? ... it's a low priority thing.
I haven't done much with it yet. I thought it important for me to learn my way around FOP before trying to start any coding. After starting that, I decided that the javadocs could really use some work, especially at the high level, so I have been focusing my efforts on that. It seemed to me that anything that would help get new developers up to speed quickly would be a good investment for the project, and since I had to learn the material along the way anyway, why not take the time to document it? Along the way, the issue of the two (or three) branches came up, and I am convinced that pulling our limited resources back into one effort is an even higher priority. So, while I really, really, REALLY want to work on some of these enhancements and bug fixes, I regretfully agree that it is a low priority thing. > Need any help? Yes, although this won't answer the question that you really asked. 1) I am truly confused whether it is better for the project for us less-experienced FOPpers to work on these smaller projects in the maintenance branch, or whether we should try to help with the bigger design issues that seem to live in HEAD. In other words, I can be talked out of the conclusion documented above. 2) I have been spinning my wheels a bit trying to get used to the pace of the project. Since I don't have commit access, I am forced to do one of the following: a) wait until patches are committed before starting the next batch of work, or b) maintain more than one sandbox (one with uncommitted patches only, one with uncommitted patches + new work, so that I can diff the two for any new patch). If you have ideas about how to handle this better, I'm very interested. In short, I am wrestling with project management issues more than technical ones at the moment. I'm sorry I don't have more progress to report.
