RE: Contributing to FOP (Re: representative example needed)

[Dennis Myrén]

Unfortunately, I get an error when I try to view those links: 

HTTP Error 403.6 - Forbidden: IP address of the client
has been rejected. 

Internet Information Services (IIS) 



That was really awkward, and not what I intended.

The URLs should
work by now. Sorry about that.

Here they are again:

http://dev.oslokb.no:8080/dennis/Sample2.pdf


http://dev.oslokb.no:8080/dennis/Sample3.pdf




BTW I have a couple of questions: 

- if we like what we see (I get an error--see below), can we post
this example PDF? 

- if we like what we see (I get an error--see below), can we post
the input files (XSL-FO, XML, XSLT, etc.)?

Of course you are free to do that.





Perhaps after you've participated in the FOP community for some
time, and your name becomes familiar to us (and hopefully made some
contributions to the code! :-p) you may be invited to become a committer for
Apache FOP!

I will do my best to get there!





Maybe I could implement support for CMYK and Spot colors to get started,
if this is of interest to you.

Wouldnt this be cool?:

fo:block color=spot(PANTONE 1205 C, 1.0)Hello
FOP/fo:block

We have thought for a long time that it is time to give something back
to FOP, 





in form of development contribution. 





I have been programming PDF components for a long time and know the PDF
file format, as well as XSL-FO. 





Therefore, i think i might be able to help out. 





However, we havent really taken the time for that. Now i think we can
do that, so i hereby also let you know that i am interested in starting to
contribute. 









Thanks for the kind words, and we look forward to receiving PATCHes
from you. Here's a link to help you get started.

I got them, and they downloaded and opened fine on my machine.

Of course you are free to do that.

Excellent, please do me/us a favor (I hope it's not too much to ask!):
1. ZIP the input files*.xml, *.xsl, *.fo, *.jpg, *.tif, etc. (whatever files used to create these) and Sample1.pdf, Sample2.pdf  Sample3.pdf files.
2. Create a new BUG in bugzilla and attach these the ZIP file containing all of the files.

Of course, it would help to have the information in there translated to English, since (I suspect) that is the most 'common' language used for FOP development.

We look forward to 'seeing' you around...

That would be cool, and help many, many people! Thanks!
