Hello all, I'm considering using librsvg for my project that requires a standalone SVG rendering engine for an embedded device. My project has a number of different requirements from what librsvg has been currently used for. * It will probably be using Embedded Linux, but may be using QNX which is also POSIX compliant. * I would want to try to reduce any dependencies on external libraries if at all possible. * Possible changes to configure/make to allow cross-compiling. * I won't be using Gnome, so any changes I would make wouldn't be testable (by me) for Gnome. * My requirements are to support close to a full feature set. Specifically, addition of animation, DOM, and scripting support. * I don't want to use Java, but C/C++. (This is a match, unlike some of the other Open Source alternatives.) First off--is there any open source project that more closely matches what I'm trying to do above? I suspect not. However, to me librsvg seems as if it has been relatively stagnant for a while. So if there's something newer that's being actively developed on, I'd want to consider that seriously instead of invest what could be quite a bit of time in bringing this project up to snuff. Here are a number of things that I see are required, just from the project management level. (Perhaps some of these exist, but they appear to be lacking.) * Documenting what versions of what (SVG Tiny/Basic/Full, 1.0/1.1/1.2) are being supported. * Full feature matrix for what features are supported and which are not (and what levels/specific features are not supported). * Full unit teseting for all supported features. * Moving todo list into SourceForge for task management. * Enabling Sourceforge bug list and/or feature wish list. * Moving project from CVS into SVN? * More generic support for rasterization layer (not necessarily fixed to Gnome pixmaps or Cairo). And then of course after moving more of the project infrastructure into Sourceforge, I would start adding the features I need and/or shoring up what's there. Does this sound like work the team would want? Or should I try to find another project and/or fork this one? --Andy Gryc [email protected] ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
