How to get a developer?

Hi FOP Developers!

I need to implemente new features in apache fop (especially the servlet)
Maybe you like to add these changes to the repository?

A very important feature for me would be:
Sending a POST XML stream to the servlet (not only a filename), so you
don't have to serialize the the XML file before (that makes no sense
by print on demand).

In addition to that, I'd like to improve the marker compatibility with
the next W3C recommondation (table markers etc.).

Well, how do I get a developer for Apache FOP?


kind regards,
Lars

Hi Lars,

You'll need to create an account first at
https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/createaccount.cgi.  Then submit a bug
report as I described in my last email.  You will see that there is an
option to attach a file to bug report.  If you are on Windows you can create
a patch file easily using TortoiseSVN, on Unix go to your top level FOP
folder and use the diff command.  There are lots of guides on the internet
instructing you how to create patch files, if you're comfortable with
subversion I'm sure you'll figure it out :-)

Adrian.

Hi Adrian,

Sorry for my late response.

Can you help me with the upload of the file? Where can I do that?
I'm new to bugzilla & co...

I only know how to work with subversion, cvs etc.

Hi Lars,

That great :-)..  Its simple then, submit a patch file containing your
changes ar http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi?product=Fop.  Its
helpful if you can prefix the subject of your submission with "[PATCH]" so
its easier to identify.  Also please try to follow the coding conventions (
http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/dev/conventions.html).  I'll be happy to
process your patch.

Adrian.

Hi Adrian,

the servlet changes are already done by myself. But I'd need to commit 
the changes.

The changes with the markes would be new for me...


mit besten Grüßen,
Lars Plessmann

Hi Lars,

Well you can approach one of the FOP committers and ask if we can help with
the implementation.  Unfortunately I am a little over-committed on other
projects at the moment.  I could help you with the servlet work but I'm not
sure I would have time at the moment to be able to help with your table
marker requirements (this will not be trivial task).  I'm sure others will
be in touch on/offline.

Best of luck,

Adrian.
