The following page has been changed by VincentHennebert:
http://wiki.apache.org/xmlgraphics-fop/GoogleSummerOfCode2006/FloatsImplementationProgress

The comment on the change is:
A link to the work done is required for the final evaluation

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    * integrate the comments from Simon and Jeremias on my latest changes to this page;
    * write a review of Plass' thesis.
  
+ = Informations for the Final Evaluation =
+ All the code that I've written during the Summer of Code has been put in one Bugzilla entry: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=39777
+ 
+ This wiki page contains thoughts that I wrote about before-floats and side-floats, before actually implementing them. The goal was to have feedback from the developers before starting to code.
+ 
+ I've implemented a first version of before-floats, which is described in section 3 of the /ImplementingBeforeFloats sub-page. Section 4 gives some ideas of improvements I have started to implement, but the patch is not finished yet (it should be available soon).
+ 
+ The /ImplementingSideFloats sub-page gives a summary and a formalization of this part of the Recommendation, along with some decisions regarding uncertainties. It also describes a possible algorithm to handle side-floats. It has not been implemented, because of difficulties to make it work with the total-fit algorithm as it exists in the current code. There are ongoing discussions about how to make it evolve to ease the implementation of missing features, included side-floats.
+ Once this is done, this page should provide a good basis for implementing those latter.
