Hi Folks, I tried to post this note via the web interace, but I don't think it made it, so here it is again. I finally figured out how to subscribe to the list properly.
(side NOTE: how to subscribe to the lists is very poorly documented -- there is nice whole page about all the php lists, but no links or docs about how to subscribe. Elsewhere, I found how to subscribe to php-general, and extrapolated from that -- however, it took a bunch of failed attempts, and much frustration, before I figured out that list list is called "internals" rather than "php.internals" or "php-internals", or ???. But I guess that weeds out the less-persistent!) Sorry if it's a repeat. I'm interesting in the status of the GD lib as a stand-alone library. I'd like to use it on it's own, and perhaps write some new python bindings for it. But as we all know the state of libGD's web presence is confusing (though recently improved). I have found it hard to: 1) know which source code I should use 2) find the docs 3) figure out where to ask questions, perhaps post patches, etc. (why I'm posting to this list) So; a) is there a mailing list or something that I missed? b) is there interest (probably from Pierre or Tom) to continue to maintain it, clean up its web presence, etc.? (note -- there really isn'ta ll that much to do to improve the situation a lot -- simply putting all the code, docs, and a small info page all in one place, and having a mailing list) I like GD, as it is simple, fast, and does what I need it to do. I'd rather not get into the mess of Cairo, or AGG, or skia (though skia does look pretty promising...). But I do need to know that there's some support before committing much effort to it. -Chris -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer Emergency Response Division NOAA/NOS/OR&R (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception chris.bar...@noaa.gov
