FAQ-O-Matic - Plea for questions

[Alex McLintock <al...@my-deja.com>]

Hi folks, 

I said that I could set up a FAQ-O-Matic style system for fop users
I will try to set this up on Sunday morning when I have some spare 
time. (If anyone thinks there is a better way then stop me now 
before I set it up)


I know of the existing short FAQ on 

     http://xml.apache.org/fop/faqs.html

but really that is terribly out of date.

I need questions. What are the Frequently Asked Questions? 
I don't archive this list myself so I can't go over 
recent messages to extract them.

Please email me FA Questions or post them to the list if you have a lot. FOP-USERS this is your chance to contribute big time.

Of course I'd like answers too, but questions are more important now.


The system I build will be available on www.OWAL.co.uk
I don't want to touch xml.apache.org myself if I can avoid it.


--------------------------------------

Is Scarab (Bug Tracking system) not ready for use yet? 
I got the impression that Jon S Stevens was working quite hard on 
it so I'd be surprised if it wasn't up to scratch yet.

Great, I will include the url into the Fop documentation as soon as it 
is up and running.

Mmh, *terribly* out of date? I think all questions are still faqs and 
most answers are still correct.

Compilation
Q: Source files for the formatting properties are missing
answer still ok

Q: Formatting object xxx doesn't work as expected
q & a. still valid (except the wd date), but the q. could be 
reformulated like this:
Formatting object xxx or property yyy doesn't work as expected

Q: Supporting the latest XSL working draft
must be changed

Q: Fatal error: Root element must be root
valid

Q: Char '>' inserted into page number
valid

Q: Are font properties allowed here
valid

Q: I need some additional fonts in FOP.
A: changed. Pointer to the description be Jeremias

New questions: 
Q: Problems with building Fop. What can I do? 
(basic answer in latest compiling.html)

Q: Latest Fop and Cocoon?
Q: Fop and large documents
Q: Which version of Xerces and Xalan
Q: Problems running Fop, sample classpath
Q: How do I get effect xxx with xsl:fo?
a. refers to the new user discussion list 
Q: I think I found a bug, what should I do

Q: I have question xxx and problem yyy. Who can help?
A: *Please* read the documentation first etc.

The Fop archive can be found here (also a faq btw)
