Originally, FO-to-PDF, but now something unspecific but broader, like (as Bertrand suggests) FO Processor. I tried the fop site but no use... When egosurfing, I found that this information is on an old personal page of James Tauber's, but not on the Apache site anywhere. We should probably add it. ~Chris - -- Christopher R.

Re: whats FOP
Hey, Chris
Maybe you could write up a paragraph (or 2 or 3) that explains FOP early
history, and the origin of the name. That would be good stuff to put on the
site.

A while back, someone pointed out that Webster says:
fop (n) same as DANDY
And I believe that someone else also pointed out that that was entirely
intentional. A fop is someone overly concerned with style, which made the
obvious acronym FOP entirely appropriate.

See URL: http://www.google.com/search?q=cache:FGXp6JWVblk:www.jtauber.com/fop/acknowledge.html for James Tauber's old acknowledgements page, and URL: http://www.google.com/search?q=cache:zGpfaw76DqE:www.jtauber.com/fop/www8.ppt (turned into HTML by Google) for James's summary of FOP's history. That will be more accurate than anything I can dredge up from memory. ~Chris - -- Christopher R. Maden, Principal Consultant, HMM Consulting Int'l, Inc.
