So what is your point?
- that we need a whole lot more people working on this. We already know,
either people will volunteer or they won't.

you are going to fix those problems. Then do it.

You get the main branch by getting the sources from CVS without a tag.

Matthew,
Yes, we're all entitled to a little ranting now and then. So I'll rant
a little, and end with a few practical suggestions.
As to who's in charge: Arved is the man, but Arved has recently started
a new job, so you can imagine what his current situation is.

Peter,
I think that is a good idea. I would rather just focus on the redesign. If
we try to explain the maintanence branch we will probably spend more time
explaining what cannot be done than actually achieving anything.
I will give it a go and see how things work.

I agree, make sense with the various offers for help that came up in
the last few weeks.

Keiron,
Welcome back. Been on holidays?
Looking at the number of people who have expressed an interest in being
of some help, I thought it might be of some use for you or Karen, or
both, to run a "school". I appreciate that many of the thorny problems
with fop require the redesign, but if t
I think you are right Keiron,
I would like to contribute to this software, I would of course like to
begin with the code that is an issue for me but I am ready to hear where to
look and what to do either in the maintenance branch or in the redesign one.

As far as using FOP it is still in the early development stages. So you
can evaluate it and use it if it is good enough for your needs. Due to the
missing features and bugs etc. it is harder to evaluate and may be a
problem if you want to extend how you use it.
In terms of the current develop

I think that one of the best ways anyone can contribute with just a few
hour
Actually I am willing to volunteer a few hours a week towards anything
the group needs done. I know it's not much, but if there's some admin or
minor programming task that no one wants to do, etc.

Thanks Alex, point taken. I would love nothing more than to help with
the redesign for the challenge and experience. I think FOP is a great
project that the world needs yesterday. Unfortunately my company already
has too much work for me and my clone, and there's no money in the
budget for a third

This is a problem statement for any open source software. Although a
particular version may be called a "release" in Open Source circles this
usually does mean that it is
