Well, sf.net would appeal to a larger body of developers, I think, and is certainly easier to menage for small projects, but we can also ask on jakarta-commons, xml-commons and even declare it a FOP (or XML graphics) subproject.
It is up to you to decide where you want your efforts to be host it. I am happy to present it in a sf.net project, but there is little more that I can do. Do you want to pursue these efforts further, or do you want to make them available to others who might be interested? I am afraid that is always a difficult proposition without active recruitment.
Echoing Simon... Bring it on! The more (components, peripherals & toys) the merrier!... However if active recruitment is required be prepared for... well, active recruiting...
as for a project name, how about calling it:
The XSL-FO Toybox ================= http://xslfo-toy-box.sourceforge.net/
or simply:
The Toybox ================= http://toybox.sourceforge.net/
or:
Toys ==== http://toys.sourceforge.net/
Toys for Geeks ============== http://toys-for-geeks.sourceforge.net/
XML Toys ======== http://xmltoys.sourceforge.net/
Java XML Toys ============= http://javaxmltoys.sourceforge.net/
or something... I think I like XMLToys...
Anyway, I just uploaded http://cvs.apache.org/~pietsch/t.tar.gz which contains several unfinished stuff I produced the last year: - Utilities to generate tables for the Unicode line break property - A class keeping a line break state according to TR14, which should be easier to usee than the java.text.BreakIterator for FOP - A Java port of MySpell - An attempt at providing a layered hierarchy for spell checking and hyphenation interfaces. - A Java port of the link grammar parser (incomplete, badly designed, buggy and without approvement of the original authors, *please* use only for personal study, don't redistribute). - An attempt at a morphological analyzer for german words. Somehow, the simple port of patgen as well as other attempts at simplifying the current FOP hyphenator are missing, I hope I remember to upload them tomorrow.
I see in the tar file two parts: java code and data. Would it be useful to indicate which parts of the code belong to each of the above items?
Perhaps a classification system such as this for the
project-name/applications/[insert apps here] project-name/peripherals/[insert peripherals here] project-name/examples/[insert examples here] project-name/so-on/[insert so-on here] project-name/docs/[insert docs here] project-name/wiki/[insert wiki here]
buggy and without approvement of the original authors, *please* use only for personal study, don't redistribute).
This would not exclude making it available on a public web page?
Regarding your items to chew on, would you want these to be part of a web page for this code?
Regards, Simon
