The ultimately goal is to enable people to step up with a minimum of effort. If there are regression tests I can run, let me know. There are tests that can be run using the build. (would it be too rude to say RTFM). Currently only in an early stage and if using the w3c testing suite it will cause infinite loops. http://xml.apache.org/fop/testing.html Admittedly there is more information that is currently not on the website (only in cvs, why isn't this automated). - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Attracting companies to FOP (was: Re: Public API Change in Driver)
Hi fopsians, Arved sed, I think that OS practise is proving out that largish projects (and FOP is a largish project) need a core team of at least 2 or 3 FT developers to provide momentum, continuity, and a rallying point. FOP doesn't have that, although long-time developers and committers try their best. So we are hurting because of it. I could be wrong but I don't think I am. So any suggestions from outside the FOP circle are welcome. FOP and the technology it represents, and the number of other Apache projects that it could augment or cooperate with, is a big deal, IMO. It is worth some higher-level attention and thought, I think. To my mind the primary issue with FOP's development is actually an issue with XML:FO in general, and that is that it's usefulness and the range of problems it solves have not really been well enumerated. Unless you know what problems are solved by a solution then it's hard to get excited about it. I agree that FOP is a Big Deal but not that it's Obviously a Big Deal. I mean, maybe people are evangelising XML:FO but I don't think it's been effective, because I had to work it all out on my own. I don't mean to say that it's hard to work out, just that I think that part of the appeal of things like XML or Linux is their obviousness: a standard, human-readable encoding for all structured data and a free modern operating system, versus ... this thing, right, where you take these bits, see, and then you take these other things, and then you replace this CSS thing, right, and well, you have a web browser, right, and ... My point is that whenever I read about XSL:FO I see how it's going to make reading stuff in our browsers much nicer, and how it replaces CSS. Well, noone's going to get too excited about that, because Microsoft and to a lesser extent AOL/Netscape/Mozilla are driving the market there and XSL:FO may or may not make an impact - it's really not in our hands. But XSL has implications that far exceed web pages and CSS replacement. I don't see this spoken of much. XSL is potentially an excellent way to produce paper reports, to do graphing (with SVG), to do excellent page layout for non-web applications, and to generally enhance or standardise the end-products (human readable outputs) of just about any software. It means we can get rid of all these proprietary reporting systems and replace them with standard, free ones -- at least in theory. I'm just ranting about this because I think that there needs to be a compelling reason why someone like IBM might take on the task of helping with something like FOP. As a HTML replacement, it's a big yawn. As a way of producing all those thousands of tonnes of paper reports that get printed out every day by big-iron machines, maybe it's a bit more exciting, maybe people could see where it could help the bottom line? I know that projects like Linux and Apache didn't really get much support until they were well into the 1.0+ stages of their lives. So it seems to me that battling forward to 1.0 and a big splashy press release would be the start of getting some 'real' sponsorship of the project. I know that 1.0 is a goal and I don't mean to imply that I think it's taking too long (I don't). I'm just saying that 1.0 seems to me to be a very important step for more reasons than just completing the spec. Also, some 'live' examples of real-world stuff on the FOP page would be good, some enumeration of the benefits of XML:FO and FOP, some ways that FO can be applied to solve real problems. Certainly I can help with examples of that, since I got involved in this project specifically because of the advantages of FOP over other mechanisms for producing output. I'm just saying it how I see it, of course; maybe I'm oversimplifying and talking out my botty. But the FOP page doesn't really get me all worked up about how it's going to change the world, even though I'm pretty sure it's impact will be huge. So I guess I'm saying it's a marketing problem...?

I have done some work on a demo. It uses Java webstart (work like an applet sort of). The idea is to have it initially start the awt previewer at an index page with a good introduction etc. The it will have links to other examples (such as what we already have). What needs to be done is: - setup the apps classes to handle url (I have done some of this but its a bit messy) - write and index/intro then put it on nagoya with the loader file (I have that ready and can do that) The real sticking point is lack of time.

Re: FOP FAQ suggestion
Regarding the FOP Faq-O-Matic? http://www.owal.co.uk:8090/asf/fop.jsp I asked for Java programmers to help Maybe. I do server-side Java -- servlets, JSPs, EJBs. Is that in line with the kind of help you need? (I'm also kind of busy contributing to Borland's newsgroups as one of their JBuilder TeamB members, so I don't know how much extra time I have.) Paul Furbacher Essentially the Jyve (Java FAQ-O-Matic) program is about a year old - and uses another Apache project called Turbine. Turbine is a web application framework library under constant development. Unfortunately Turbine development continues and Jyve didn't. The security mechanism changed including roles for users and so although people can actually register with my FAQ system they don't have permission to enter things. (I have superuser priviledges so I can add things in...) This is one of the underlying problems with the main Apache FAQ (the one on apache.org) You may have spotted [EMAIL PROTECTED] mentioned on the FAQ home page along with a grovelling apology for me not fixing it earlier. The very good news is that there is a new version of Jyve around. Hooray. So the plan is. 1) Setup a new FAQ system with the new Jyve from CVS (including putting it on an installation of apache with a correctly configured mod_jk) 2) Copy the FAQ data from the old system to the new one. - preferably in an automated fashion. The FOP FAQ is the one I am most interested in, but there are all the other Apache FAQs too. Once we have done this there are loads of cute features to add, but they are really bells and whistles... PS The CVS details are listed at http://jakarta.apache.org/site/cvsindex.html I have lost the details for the Jyve mailing list. I can post it next week and maybe take this discussion off this list.

RE: Attracting companies to FOP (was: Re: Public API Change in Driver)
I agree with Mark on this, Just to make a point I'll tell you about my experience with fop. At my company we focus on delivering web aplication for traditional brick mortar companies. We' have done some repporting apps and document generation like invoices and the like. When we first needed to generate pdf from scratch( 2 years ago ), we haven't heard of fop, so we used pdflib together with java. This was a time consuming and frustrating process, becouse it was so lowlevel. You have to calculate the position of all elements, the number of lines the amount of space, everything. Making a nice table will take ages. We endend up writing a lot of classes wich parsed and formated a html subset, becouse having the presentation tied so close to the code was a maintainence nightmare. When i found fop, i was happy to trow away all those classes. We have been used fop succesfully on production environment for several of our custumers for about 1/2 year. Fop right now is capable of doing what we need an more than that. If there is some feature we need in the future, we will try to implement it. My point is that, if my company has been aware of fop existance and capabilities from the begining, we will rather had contributed to fop enhancement instead of investing time on those silly classes. IMHO fop should present itself on the website in a much better way. The developers on this list may think there is a long way to go, but that depends on how you look at it. For what we needed in our company fop was ready for prime time. I think the site should be more especific about what fop is able to do right now, maybe show some examples/screen-dumps of tables, svg, images or some unicode documents. Arved wrote I look at OS projects like Subversion and I'm green with envy. Well on theirs site, they has a section devoted to well define specific task that need to be done. Thats something we should do for fop site as well. For instance, it could be nice to define what it takes to implement background image support. Or feature x. I think this model will fit better whith the way fop is been developed ( people poking at it on their spare time, comming and going ). Having an overview of what fop supports, and a list of what need's to be implemented grouped in self contained task could be a good place to start. Then a developer/company can see if their problem can be solved with fop, and if not they can stimate what it takes to implement what they need.

People who are getting the binary release can't build the Java docs, so they need the Javadocs bundled in. Weiqi, I assume you meant that what makes sense is neither what I suggested nor what Charlie suggested, but rather, prepared Javadoc with the binary distro, and none with the source. I pretty much assume that the complete set of batch files will be identical acrosss different distros. I want to make it clear that the Javadoc is not going to help someone all that much in figuring out how to make FOP run. We are talking about the API docs when I say Javadoc, _not_ the regular HTML documentation. Incidentally, none of this is an issue for me. I have a fast machine and I have a cable connection. If all potential users also have cable or ADSL connections then it's a moot point. But they don't, so distro size (I would think) is a consideration.

RE: Attracting companies to FOP (was: Re: Public API Change in Driver)
Another 1/2c I am using fop as the report formatter for a desktop application: I have not found any other way of getting previewable, printable, saveable high quality report documents out of java on a client side application. We wasted quite a bit of time on some pdf-generating library we found which was non-standards-compliant and involved out of process calls to get pdf viewer up, temporary files, and general system-dependent ugliness which always went wrong: the FOP way is a lot easier! This usage is not mentioned on the FOP site AFAIK. But look at the success of a piece of total rubbish like Crystal Reports: after a few years doing this software stuff, I've finally realised, END USERS WANT IT ON PAPER. Especially the older, more senior ones... Al ps - I have grafted it on to my app in a fairly crude way. Anybody else interested in a reworking of the .viewer package to make it easier to do? If so, I'll put a bit more time in and offer some chages. -Original Message- From: Ronald Jaramillo [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, August 10, 2001 10:29 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: Attracting companies to FOP (was: Re: Public API Change in Driver) I agree with Mark on this, Just to make a point I'll tell you about my experience with fop.

Then a developer/company can see if their problem can be solved with fop, and if not they can stimate what it takes to implement what they need. These are very good points. We have a number of developers/committers with lesser or greater knowledge of FOP guts that could possibly leverage their knowledge better. Take myself as a case in point: I know FOP well enough that I can dive in almost anywhere (OK, SVG and fonts are weak points for me, but you get the idea). But if I have 5 hours a week to spend on FOP, is that not better spent recording what I know about FOP design and implementation, and making that information available? It's sort of like the Biblical saying about providing people with fish (which is what I've been doing), as opposed to teaching people to fish. Not only that, telling them _where_ they should fish. :-) Perhaps you saw my recent post to Karen Lease and others (that Karen replied to) that was along these lines, somewhat, albeit focusing on tables. So I think the thought has been on the radar horizon. Lots of good suggestions here. All of which I think deserve high-priority attention. I'll certainly start doing this kind of stuff immediately after the 0.20 release this weekend.

But they distribute only the public API Javadocs (the javax.naming.*, etc., part, not the com.sun.naming.*, etc., part). I don't know how FOP can fit into that model. Maybe when the public API is separated from the implementation details, FOP can provide Javadocs only for the public API and not the implemenation details, thus cutting down the size of the distribution. Until then, go with your instinct. Incidentally, none of this is an issue for me. I have a fast machine and I have a cable connection. If all potential users also have cable or ADSL connections then it's a moot point. But they don't, so distro size (I would think) is a consideration.

So Any help with getting the viewer to work better would be appraciated. One part that would be very useful for the demo is links loading up new files.
