Hey all-
I'm a completely inexperience (with regards to AbiWord) programmer, but
I'd like to take a shot at imagemagick integration. If a png framework
exists, and abiword likes png, it seems to me the smart thing to do is
to internally convert everything (or as much as possible) to png using
hooks to imagemagick. I don't knwo how much wokr this will be, or how
doable it is (for me at least), but I've got enough excitment and time
off such that if I fial, it will be a glorious flaming failure.
Question, the only repsosne I saw to this POW was
"Please don't anyone do this until after I actually code/check-in the new
proposed imaging framework. Otherwise we'll have lots of duplicated
code/effort."
Was the new framework put into place?
I guess I'm claiming the POW if what I'm saying makes sense.
