I think having the opportunity to provide a .NET version of FOP would
widen the number of potential users considerably especially since
to my knowledge there's no usable open source .NET FO implementation out
there. Depending on the license situation (IKVM is BSD but GNU Classpath
is LGPL) we could even think about distributing .NET binaries.


I think that's a good move and definitely would be well accepted in the 
.NET community. I could help you on that.
And besides IKVM what do yo uthink about other options - using J# or 
even porting to C#?

J#: I don't know. It looks like you need a Visual Studio .NET license
which I don't have. Was this what nfop was done with? I didn't look.


afair J# command line compiler is a part of .NET SDK. I'll check it out 
anyway. The main problem I think is that J# supports only Java 1.1.4 
subset...



C#: I don't have time to help with such an endeavour in the near future.
That's a huge task. And the Java version takes effort enough at the
moment.


Ok, forget it.
