Yeah, and don't expect to get much done at a hackathon. > What is a Cocoon serializer in FOP? What does Maven have to do with it? A serializer is a Cocoon component that converts an XML stream (FO in this case) to a binary stream (PDF in this case). It's how FOP is integrated into Cocoon so the Cocooners can generate PDFs. They have a FOPSerializer for 0.20.5 but now that the API has changed they need a new one. http://cocoon.apache.org/2.1/userdocs/pdf-serializer.html Maven is used to build Cocoon 2.2 and I've already tried to write a FOPSerializer during the last ApacheCon but I spent the whole day just trying to build Cocoon using Maven, failing in the end.

It is a good idea to look at this, although it is a very complex subject. What is a Cocoon serializer in FOP? What does Maven have to do with it?

I know about nothing of Cocoon, will that be a problem? :-/ Also, although this is perhaps a bit ambitious for two days, we could discuss about the merging of the line- and page-level breaking algorithms?

Re: Signup for the Cocoon GT Hackathon
Cocoon 2.1.x then. That sounds like a more productive approach. :-) If they fire up their flak, I'll retaliate by ranting about Maven. Hehe.

I might get some flak from the Cocoon team for saying this, but I think a FOP trunk serializer would be good for Cocoon 2.1.x as well (the 2.1 build does not use Maven, it's only 2.2 which uses Maven). Many people still use Cocoon 2.1, and this is especially true of people who use it "only" for publishing purposes, IMHO. -Bertrand
Re: Signup for the Cocoon GT Hackathon
Added myself. The Cocoon Serializer is a good idea, IF!!! Maven is kind with me this time. ;-) We could also do a Bugzilla cleanup (long due). Improving the docs and the FAQ is another idea.
