FOray contacts

FOP devs:

I think it is prudent for me to take this temporary lull to extricate myself
a bit more by unsubscribing from the fop-dev mailing list. I have tried to
do this several times before, with little success, as you can see. I have no
projects underway and no feuds to tend to ATM, so it is a rare (unique
really) opportunity.

I hope no one will misinterpret the timing or motivation. I am not mad at
anyone. On the contrary I feel at peace with everyone still active. I do
think my time and yours will be better spent without me being involved here.
There are legitimate things that need to be discussed between our two
projects, but those are really FOray issues, not FOP issues, so it will
clean things up a bit to get those conversations moved to a more appropriate
forum. Vincent is already active on the foray-developer mailing list, and
all other interested parties are welcome as well. Links to the various FOray
mailing lists can be found on these pages:
http://www.foray.org/app/using/start.html
http://www.foray.org/dev/index.html

If replies are made to recent posts that require a response from me, please
just cc: me in them. I'll resubscribe temporarily if I need to.

I congratulate all of you on your upcoming release, and wish you all the
best.

Victor Mote

I completely agree with Manuel.

Whereas I can feel your disagreement with some decisions for the project you 
have always remained nice and made valuable comments. I regret your decision to 
leave this list because you have often been helpful where you were not expected.

I'll be glad to continue to discuss with you on the FOray lists.

Cheers,
Vincent

personally I believe anyone who has worked on fop and has an active 
interest in XSL-FO can still make valuable contributions here. 

Even if you don't want to get involved in (further) design discussion 
based on events in the past I believe you still have lots to 
contribute. For example at the level of input to issues with the spec 
itself and its interpretation because of your extensive knowledge in 
that area. 

Therefore I am very sorry to see you leave this list.
