I think anything marked as Proposal was probably intended as fair game. Most are still quite vague without any of the technical detail needed to be a formal part of the spec. If you want to work on it, go ahead! Personally I don't really think of OpenRaster as an animation format, but if it can be made to work as one in a way that's compatible with static image editors (ideally in a way that doesn't break when edited by a static image editor (good luck[1]!)), why not? I think in order to keep the formal, baseline part of the spec nice and light, animation would have to be an extension - though possibly a very standard extension if it's well specified, would work with more than one app, and seems sound to a consensus of animators. [1] The spec seems to omit any mention of programs preserving files, elements and attributes they don't understand to avoid screwing up other apps. I have this vague recollection it was discussed once though; and core MyPaint, er, doesn't do that. I'm not entirely sure what the mechanism would be; suggestions welcome. -- Andrew Chadwick _______________________________________________ CREATE mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/create
