Hi Christopher, There's nothing really blocking my work on IPTC - just finding the time. Thanks though.
The documentation could use a lot of work. The things I was planing on doing myself are: - Exact list of what features, spec versions, modes, etc. are supported for each file format. - Comparison with other Java image libraries and description of why and when to use Sanselan. - More sample code. - Elaborating the FAQ.
