The following is a part of the status file. 
I inserted a new section "Things worked on", which is quite incomplete at the moment. 
Please tell me/all, what you are working on.

STATUS

Things worked on:

rewrite of the org.apache.fop.layout (implements xsl 2000) [James Tauber]
image support [Eric Schaeffer, Pankaj Narula]
simple-links [Arved Sandstrom]

Things to do:

Get images working
[PARTIAL] Get padding working
[DONE] Incorporate Arved Sandstrom's simple-link implementation
[PARTIAL] Implement basic keeps
[PARTIAL] Incorporate Eric Schaeffer's further table fixes
Implement MessageHandler (or similar)

Other Bugs to fix:

colour not continued onto subsequent pages if coloured block goes over page
simple-link doesn't seem to work (I think I, JKT, broke it)

Todo's and problems with AWT Previewer:

- currently the layout process uses PDF fonts. This gives sometimes
  trouble with java.awt.Font 
- we need some progress messages even if the process itself is fast
- GIF format is supported by the viewer, but disabled in FOP. BMP is
  not done, because there are no standard libraries.
- more comments/english comments
- i18n for the user interface (yes, now we need this stuff)
- toolbar images directory is not configurable
- first preview is painted twice (flashing screen)
- should "preview" be an option when calling FOP instead of having
  it's own main method?
