Sure, you'll have plenty of Java coding experience if you wish--there is truly no end to it. (You may also wish to take a look at Cocoon, in particular (1) the page showing production sites using it, and (2) its interesting Hello World servlet, which shows the many output devices that Cocoon can use to render the phrase Hello World. Besides giving you better insight in how FOP is used, Cocoon can be a powerful tool for those, like you, who already have XSLT and Web Design knowledge.) Thanks for the votes of confidence! I look forward to serving the FOP community in any way that I can (and right now, I guess that means as the Web Maestro!)... BTW, another fun thing on your plate--it would nice if you could also switch us from the blue Forrest skin [1] to the white one [2]--the latter looks much more sleeker/professional I think.

You mentioned last Thursday that 'We must be doing something right...', and if you ask me, having people like yourself on our support-list could just be that little something. Enjoy! Cheers, Andreas
[VOTE] Clay Leeds for Committer
Team, Waxing chutzpaic, I'd like us to try again to make Clay a committer on this project. You may recall his committership didn't pass last December (I can't remember who blocked it, it might have been Jeremias ;-), but especially with the loss of Victor, I think it's becoming increasingly evident our need for a 'Web Maestro' to take care of our site. He has been putting in a remarkably solid, loyal effort for our project since Nov. 2002 [1], and also has made himself known to Forrest-Dev on issues regarding our site--most recently, in fixing the pesky breadcrumb [2] problem for us. He has also been a leading evangelist on the commercial usage of FOP on the FOP-user site [3], hence a welcome inspiration for both us developers and our users. The updates and issues he has brought up to us this week, I'm sure he would be happy to take care of for us, just as soon as we provide him write access. I also hope he develops a psychological concept of ownership of our website over time, resulting in it looking increasingly top-notch. So let me start off the voting: +1.

+1, again, for Clay. Thanks, Glen, for doing a better job at formulating a new committer proposal than I did. Would you please enlighten me what the words below mean? On 29.02.2004 22:10:42 Glen Mazza wrote: Waxing chutzpaic, Jeremias Maerki

On 29.02.2004 22:10:42 Glen Mazza wrote: Waxing chutzpaic, Well, that joke didn't work. ;) Long Answer: There's a certain amount of chutzpah inherent in the statement I'd like us to try again to make someone a committer, if *I* was the one who -1'ed it to begin with. Also, a lesser-used meaning of the verb to wax is to become of an emotion while speaking (normally, wax sentimental/ nostalgic/ patriotic, etc.) It requires an adjective (adverb?) to follow it, which chutzpah doesn't have, so I made it up. Short Answer: Never mind--Just throw the rotten tomatoes at me and forget about it! Glen (splat!) (splat!)

Re: [VOTE] Clay Leeds for committer
I appreciate the nod from fop-dev team for my nomination. It came as a very pleasant surprise to me. I've been waiting for the VOTE to pan out before making comments. In any case, my intention is to continue on the same path of learning and service as before.

It's not a veto, I just used that term to remind others that committerships require a unanimous vote. My vote is still -1.

Re: [VOTE] Clay Leeds for committer
A veto must always be accompanied by an explanation. Without an explanation a veto is invalid. http://incubator.apache.org/learn/voting.html Clay has never submitted any Java-related patches but he cares about the website (and has submitted patches in this area) and helps on the user mailing list. He regularly post suggestions which is also one way to contribute. He deserves the committership IMO. There's no rule that somebody must submit at least one Java-related patch to be accepted as a committer.
