There has been some discussion of setting up a source forge project for Tidy and refactoring it as a linked lib w/ a command line driver. We have yet to hear back from Dave Raggett or anyone else at the w3c about the idea. I think it is time to "just do it". A few folks who have expressed interest and, more important, willingness to help. Your suggestions indicate you have a similar interest. Can we include you? I haven't set up a Source Forge project before. Anyone else have experience w/ this? I think it would be the appropriate forum to compile bug/patch lists and host detailed design discussions. Of course each of us will have his or her own pet priorities (I know I do). So I think we'll need to build some consensus on the overall project approach first and then we can discuss software specifics. Before moving ahead on code, we should report back to this list and collect feedback. Pet priority disclosure: I want to use Tidy for HTML scraping (e.g. putting the BODY tag into an XML element, for dynamic content reformatting). Limited time disclaimer: we all probably have day jobs and limited time to devote to such an undertaking. We'll need to be careful to set reasonable goals and schedules. I'm thinking a basic API w/ bug fixes release could be managed this summer. Who's in?

Hello I have a possibility of implementing a couple of improvements for the current tidy release. First one: the tidy apparently is not thread-safe and is not usable as a thread-safe library/component. This could be fixed. Second one: add the more comprehensive encodings support for tidy. This task is also quite interesting. If someone would like to participate pls. answer. Also the web-hosting support is required. If someone has no objections about deploying such a modifications on his/hers web-site this would be most appreciated. BR Valeri Atamaniouk
