Yes I'm fine with you going ahead and removing it Vincent, +1. Adrian. 2008/8/3 The Web Maestro [EMAIL PROTECTED] +1 to removing it since it's not maintained...

Hi Luis, Luis Ferro wrote: I'm no hacker of svn, but it should be possible to generate the table based on the commits only... and a date threshold for the last commit by each contributor. Interesting suggestion... however, I’m not sure this would work well. For example, I recently removed trailing whitespaces from java files, and that involved almost every file from the codebase. May I pretend to be a specialist of all the areas of expertise in FOP after that? I’m not entirely sure... ;-) Also, some committers are mainly active by answering questions on fop-dev or fop-users, or participating in votes, and that counts at least as much as contributing code. Thanks for your suggestion, anyway :-) snip/ Cheers, Vincent

+1. If it's not maintained, better remove it.
