Hi list. I want to gratulate you for finally including the GDlib as a bundled extension to PHP and recognize that the Boutell people has apparently stalled the development... Now it also seems like new PHP/GD-only functions are sneaking in (there is a imagelayereffect and imagecolormatch function added) and that is even better! I have now played around with GD for the last few days and added around 10+ new vital functions which are must-haves for what must be tons of people needing a truely powerful graphics manipulation engine. I'll tell you more about those functions and demonstrating them by a demo-website soon. But my actual request is this: - Who is in charge of the bundled GD? (Who can I discuss it with) - What is the policy on that library? Do you want it to be expanded with new functions? - Would you be positive towards additions from me? (I want to know this before I spend more brainpower) - How can I help? (I'm new to this list but is a very experienced PHP programmer since PHP/FI 2) I really want to help the development of the bundled GD to be a powerful image manipulation package. For now my changes are simply additions and I'm going to supply full documentation of the API and possibly also offer a public testsite for the demonstration. If that is at all appreciated, please let me know. - kasper ------------------------------ Attitude dude! - Don't rebrand TYPO3!
