I don't think so--no migration is *required* for XML Graphics to have management over Batik and FOP. As for the precise projects which will come under the management of XML Graphics, the resolution is normative, not ViewCVS URLs. Both teams' code can sit where they are, same with their Bugzillas. While it may prove advantageous for some movement to later occur, this doesn't have to happen. Batik can be on a CVS box in Brisbane and FOP on a CVS box in Baltimore, and XML Graphics retain management of both. > "Rationalization" may be something that can be > postponed, but it does I don't like that term, because that implies that the code is currently irrational. But there really aren't many problems with the current setup. Batik is certainly a very-low-maintenance success. As for FOP, for the year I've been on it, its class count has fallen from 905 to 592--thanks to Finn for 90%+ of that heavy lifting--and yet if anything is more powerful. Yes, transcoders may be more of Batik's department and not FOP's task, but FOP isn't yet solidified enough for them to take it over yet. And yes, I'm also very open to making them shared components--so SVG-philiac FOP developers like Jeremias can always get their paws on them--but ideally there should be people working on them (or at least wanting to work on them) first--we don't need additional moving parts if no one is looking at the code. > > Would it be OK then, to just drop the "and > rationalization" from the > resolution? > No, let's get rid of this clause and debate all this after XML Graphics forms. I'll create a new ballot very soon.
