Hi,

It is a very common question, but it is not in the FAQ because there is no answer. Open source projects work very differently from commercial ones. code is written when people feel like writing it :-)
What is the status of the FOP 1.0 development.
It still has some big gaps in functionality compared with 0.20.5.
It has been about 18 months since the last fop release (0.20.5).
yes we know. FOP is short of developers who have the time to write any code.
Are there any plans to release a 1.0-prealpha1 ? How long will it at least / at most take for a next release ?
Its very difficult to tell. I did an estimate of outstanding work required to get FOP 1.0 good enough for release and there was about 5 man months work. But due to the nature of open source, theres no telling when those tasks will get done.
