RE: Adobe/Sun FO grants

Hi Micah,

90 000$ for both XSL PDF FO implementation and XSL implementation on Mozilla
is not what I can call deep pockets. Just think of a developer year salary,
look at the number mentioned and I am not sure we can call that deep
pockets.

Also, to add FO (not PDF but usual one in the layout engine) require work in
the layout engine, the DOM and the XSL engine. This is not cheap. At least
in terms of time. Also, the layout engine is just finished to be remade as a
component and several points of its architecture has been reworked.

The RFP on April 1 looks more like an April's fool :-)

Weren't Sun and Adobe supposed to be putting up cash prizes for FO
implementations? ... Yes, according to xml.com :
  "An RFP will be issued April 1"

Anyone know what's going on there?
