Re: Project offo distributes hyphenation pattern files for FOP
Moved from fop-user.
Simon,
Under which license have you set up the SourceForge project?

I stated that contributions with any OSI-approved license or in the
Public Domain were acceptable. The discussion to get the idea
explained and this license statement accepted was lengthy. I took care
to state each license carefully in the covering page
http://sourceforge.net/offo/hyphenation.html. For a large part thanks
to Jeremias earlier work.

I'd be happy to spend some time on this. I've got a couple ideas and
will see if I can't come up with something soon.

Again, I'd be happy to oblige. I can also be another project
administrator if you'd like.

Thanks for the offer. It was some work to set this up, although I
could build mostly on Jeremias' earlier work. I expect that from now
on the project will not give me much work. The only thing that needs
to happen, is a nicer design for the home page and the page
hyphenation.html. Perhaps a challenge for the web master?
It might be a good idea if you or someone else of the FOP team would
also be a project administrator, to make it less dependent on one
person.
Regards, Simon

anything I can do to help.
