You would be signing up to bring the startup and options of alt.design (which is currently a much stripped down version of the branch point) into line with HEAD. Further, you could be fixing those things that make Checkstyle complain. None of this is crucial to progress on alt.design, but will ease integration, whenever that happens, and to what extent it happens. It would seem foolish for me to invest time in alt design until there is some agreement about which portions of it will eventually be integrated. I am under the impression that I am waiting for a response from you to move that issue forward. I was preparing a detailed response, but I realised that too much of what I wanted to do was still vague, and that I needed to write some code to put some flesh on my ideas. First, though, I have to write a solution for the mixed expressions involving percentages, then provide the area tree context for their resolution. There's a bit of work there. I will finish the reply to you shortly, though, as much as is possible at the moment. I have high hopes that we can reconcile all of the design issues, get everyone on the same page, and start implementing them. I think it is important to resolve that before getting into the nitty-gritty. I think they require nitty-gritty resolution. It seems to me that one gets to a certain point, and one has to make some ideas concrete in code. What can I do to help get the design philosophies reconciled? Keep asking hard questions.

Integrating alt.design
Fopdevs, Anyone who would like to make a start on the integration of alt.design can do two very great services. Checkstyle cleanup. This is a large an messy task in itself. I have a basic config for the 3.1.1 version of the Eclipse plugin in the alt.design base directory. I have just turned of the javadocs warnings, and I intend to generate the docs that are currently defined and clean them up before filling in the blanks. Bringing the org.apache.fop.apps stuff up to 0.20.5. This aspect was frozen in alt.design at about 0.20.0, so it is grossly out of date. Logging is still done, e.g., using MessageHandler. Bringing apps up to date will greatly ease the integration process, and can be done, I think, without majoe trauma. The tag for alt.design is FOP_0-20-0_Alt-Design. Peter -- Peter B.
