This part is not very relevant to the current discussion I think, but: 
I don't have a very good memory either...in your case I would recommend 
a good dose of mailing list archives before going to bed...maybe add 
some jfor.org bedtime reading ;-)

Please don't rewrite history. And if you want to follow the jfor to FOP 
evolution in detail you're forgetting Victor Mote as well.

Please be careful how you use the word "inactive". I suspect this is 
targeted at me, in which case it is very right as I have done very 
little for FOP in actual code, but have you looked at the mountains of 
work that Keiron has done here earlier?

I find dismissing him because he's *currently* inactive, without 
consideration for his former work, inappropriate (I was going to say 
"unrespectful" even).

To sum up my position: I think the XML Graphics thing is a good idea, 
and connections to Cocoon are certainly good as well.

As I said to Jeremias, I cannot promise much in terms of actual code 
contributions to the projects at this point, but if I can help by 
making connections between the projects I'm happy to do it.
