RE: [wtp-proposal] Rich Internet Application

["Christophe Ney" <christophe.ney@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Xinjie,

Did you get in touch with Dominique about your potential involvment in the
project? A contribution in SVG editing would be of very high value and your
using SVG for forms as seen on openvue.net is amazing!

How do you see your involvment in this project? Do you think you could offer
code (under the proper license CPL/EPL) as well as time?

Thanks,
Christophe

Note: Not sure you've got the mail from Dominique below.
