Is FOP Actively Being Developed?

[L Rutker <lr...@hotmail.com>]

I know there is a supposed refactoring/rewriting going on for FOP.

Is this really happening?
Does anyone know of target dates?

Thanks

I believe the problem with the status of the project has to do with how up
to date the xml.apache.org fop pages are.  It would be nice to get more
current information up on the website.  This would benefit the current
users the most because more individuals would get involved in the project
causing the project to move forward faster.

Hi L Rutker,

Of course this is happening. Anyone who has read the XSL-FO specification 
would know about half of the problems we are facing.
I suspect what you are really asking is for noticeable signs of progress 
for the user. All I can say is that this will happen when it is possible.

As a rough guess for the development release I think it will take about 
320 hours of work involving core knowledge plus another roughly 320 hours 
of non-core functionality. How this relates to people and dates is 
unknown. (these estimates could be way off, I would need to break it down 
further and monitor progress to get a better idea)

Keiron Liddle.
