The original thread got corrupted into two different issues. If you are talking about the issue with tables, Joerg Pietschmann is the one you need to contact. A link to his email address is at: http://xml.apache.org/fop/team.html. I think he does his FOP work after-hours, Central European time (this may not be the official name of the time zone), so you may need to wait a few hours to hear from him. If you are talking about FOP memory use in general, you're talking about a much bigger issue, and you're really talking about the whole team. I know of at least four members of the team who would spend more time on FOP if they could be freed from other duties necessary to make a living, and a couple who are free-agent types that would probably rearrange their schedules to help. So potential resources are there. It is difficult to estimate how long such a project would take, because we have not yet agreed on the design parameters. I do have a solution rolling around in my mind. My initial, off-the cuff estimate is that, after design agreement is reached, it would take one programmer nearly a year to implement the changes needed to meet that design. Some of the tasks can be parcelled out to more than one programmer, but with four on the job, I doubt that it gets done more quickly than four months. So, if you can support 12-16 man-months of programming, and can wait 4-12 months for the solution, (these estimates may change, but I am using them as a qualification test), and don't mind contributing the results to Apache, post another message to that effect, and we'll work a bit on figuring out how to do this from a business standpoint -- there are a bunch of issues that would need to be resolved.
