Yeah, I know... Same here --occurred to me just in time to look a bit
further down at the properties :-)

Still re-reading the related parts of the spec closely to try and understand
the requirements myself...

First of all, check: http://xml.apache.org/fop/dev/index.html

Very important: development on FOP's maintenance branch (0.20.X) is frozen,
so if you're really serious about creating patches, you definitely want to
checkout the HEAD branch from CVS (= trunk development line ~1.0dev) and
delve into those sources --don't get too discouraged, as compliance is still
not near the level of 0.20.X, but it's definitely moving in the right
direction. Every helping hand is welcome!

Besides that... keep fop-dev informed about your progress, so join
[EMAIL PROTECTED] Also, feel free to post questions there about the
design --if they're not answered in the docs, on the website or in the
archive. Finally, when you think you have a working patch, enter it via a
Bugzilla report (+ maybe an accompanying e-mail to fop-dev with a short
description of the 'how-and-why'). If the team is happy, etc.

That's about it, I guess... Plain and simple.

If you have any other specific questions, just give us a yell.

Greetz,

Andreas
