Hi Vasile,
We're about to start a major overhall of our formatter. This
process will give us tables, text frames, positioned images and other
objects, footnotes, endnotes and maybe margin notes.
You can read the design notes for this next stage in our development
in the attached email.
I've started by writing the fp_ContainerObject base class. The next pahse
will be to refactor our existing container classes to derive from this
base class.
This is all rather high level stuff right now. I think that until the
basics steps outlined in the document are done it might be better to find
another way to contribute to abiword. Once the basic ground work is laid
we could certainly use some help in implementing footnotes, tables etc.
Maybe you could look through bugzilla to find a bug that bothers you and
fix it to get started with?
Cheers
Martin
