Hey Joel,

Given your interest in this area, you may want to get in contact with Abhishek Sharma (who I've added to the discussion) as his Summer of Code project relates to our css parsing and libcroco. I'm not saying what you're doing should not be pursued, however, if he finds that keeping libcroco is the correct path, your work could free him up to doing more work on our internal css handling.

Cheers,
Josh

Hi Inkscape Devs,

I've decided to take it upon myself to try and get Inkscape's libcroco
pushed upstream. I've been doing some web searching about the previous
discussions that have gone on about it:

http://mail.gnome.org/archives/libcroco-list/2007-February/msg00000.html
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/libcroco-list/2009-March/msg00001.html

https://bugs.launchpad.net/debian/+source/inkscape/+bug/648246
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=572454
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=252510

I've been doing some work pulling out the differences between inkscape
and upstream crocco into a series of tidy patches. The main differences
are the libxml split-out, fixes for compiler warnings, and a couple of
minor bug fixes.

But as you know the main issue is about splitting out libxml, and I see
that this has already been attempted
here:http://bugzilla-attachments.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=129078

Do anyone know anything about the status of this patch? Was is rejected
for some reason?

Best Regards
Joel Holdsworth
