Hopefully anyone capable of doing it, which shouldn't be that hard. I think the Skia VCL code is a well-commented and high-quality code compared to the usual OOo/LO bar (which is not being pompous but rather being sad about the general state of some things). But I'm obviously biased, so the only real way to find out is if somebody tries it. > Indeed, 95% of Skia patches are from Luboš.

But that doesn't depend on me or Collabora. That depends on somebody doing that and we have no control over that. > So I think we should keep thepossibility to revert the default option for > 7.0.1/7.0.2 just in case. Yes, of course. There's always the fallback solution of just disabling it back. > 3) Is there some documentation to facilitate newcomers or not LO newcomers > devs to work on this? > (I found nothing in https://wiki.documentfoundation.org) There's nothing on the Wiki (and I personally do not see the point of having such information there). There's a README in the sources, currently somewhat short but I have a TODO item to add some general items such as basic debugging tricks. The rest of things should be visible from the code and difficult or non-obvious things are either commented in the relevant place or in commit messages that only say what but also why. I expect people capable of fixing other VCL backends shouldn't have a hard time doing the same with the Skia code. -- Luboš Luňák l.lunak@xxxxxxxxxxxxx _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
