As I mentioned off-line to another list member, I have some
questions about the progress of the current Fop development
effort.
So far:
i) I have made a few measurements and reconfirmed some other peoples
opinions about possible areas for improvement.
ii) I have also proof-read some code from Alt-Design as preparation
for possibly working on it's integration.
iii) Written a few Problem Reports in Bugzilla to better document
the 'here and now' status of the HEAD development stream.
iv) Established a statistical basis for an object discovery and
re-use strategy.
v) Provoked some discussion of string interning (I was aiming for
something grander in terms of [iv] above.)
Everyone is extremely polite and encouraging and I have every
confidence in the abilities of each active member of this
discussion.
BUT:
I don't have a feeling that we are capturing any territory.
The discussions are lively and quite enlightening but they seem to
peter out or double back on themselves. I don't see any state
changes from Bugzilla indicating that anything is getting fixed
and my experience tells me that this is not healthy.
