Speaking for myself, I really don't want Victor's code in 1.0. I don't
like his personality, and have not been a fan of his architectural ideas
much either--especially his emphasis on placing the 0.20.5 layout code
into 1.0 via "multiple layout strategies".
I would not relish a return to these past arguments--1.0 is clean and
clear of the 0.20.5 layout sludge, nobody has to wade through that stuff
to help out on 1.0, and I am quite happy with the progress being made on
1.0 because of it.
When politics interferes in open-source development ;-)
Hey, I don't think we are here to flame each other. I respect both Victor's and
your opinions. I think you both contribute in a useful way. I agree with your
willing to clean up the development code because IMO it makes Fop's code
discovering easier for newcomers (I know what I'm speaking about ;-). I fully
understand Victor's willing to first provide a clean modularization because I'm
also fond of well design.
Licensing is another headache, Victor would probably need to donate the
code first to Apache before we could use it.
I'm not used with licensing issues but as FOray uses the same license as Fop I
guess there won't be any problem here. Maybe I'm wrong?

My goal is not to create any problem within the Team, or between it and other
people. Adapting FOrayFont to Fop is an issue that has already been raised by a
couple of persons here. I'm willing to do this work because I feel capable of
and because I think it would be a bonus for Fop.
Now I'm just proposing it. It is not up to me to make any decision about doing
it or not. I'm now waiting for a common Team decision.
If you decide not to do it, well, no matter, I'll find another thing to do ;-)
And please don't feel offensed by any of my words: I'm not a native english
speaker and words that seem neutral to me may actually be offensive ;-/

Vincent
