Thanks for the feedback everyone.
I'm trying to figure out how we should support the JavaFX Production
Suite on Linux and Solaris. As you are no doubt aware, very few
designers use Inkscape and the Gimp. Since we have scarce resources
and a ton of tasks ahead of us for the Adobe suite on Mac and Windows
we simply don't have the manpower to build plugins for Gimp and
Inkscape. That said, we really want to support the Linux and Solaris
communities, so we are considering our next steps. If we documented
the FXZ file format and provided an engineer to answer some questions
do you think there are developers in the community willing to build
plugins for Gimp and Inkscape?
Thanks,
Josh
