I’m not sure. Not in Firefox 3 anyway, hopefully Firefox 4. You can follow the progress at the links mentioned in this post.

Keep going, it’s important. :)

Great work!
SVG will be a recomended image format for the 100$ laptop (see: http://laptop.org).
Application developers on the OLPC will mostly be working with Python, the GTK GUI and the GECKO HTML engine.
see: http://wiki.laptop.org/index.php/OLPC_Python_Environment

SMIL animations in GECKO would be very helpfull for this project.

I’m working on it. It’s hard to find time but I did some work earlier in the week and I’ll hopefully get a chance to do some more tonight or tomorrow. So it’s underway, just moving slowly.

Thanks again for your comment,

Brian.

Hope you get some solid progress happening, it’ll have important knock-on effects.

Thanks for the encouraging comments. I’m starting to get back to work on this stuff. tor has recently checked in a patch that hopefully marks the start of some concrete steps towards implementing animation in SVG and which should assist in integrating this work.

I hope to let you know of some progress on my end in the coming weeks.

After having migrated from Amiga -> Win32 -> NetBSD I’ve had my fill of proprietary formats and so will be sticking to formats purely W3C-ish forevermore. Toward that end anything you do to push forward SMIL and SVG in Firefox will be vastly appreciated.

I used to hand code graphics in PostScript on a plain ASCII text editor so as to enjoy total control. Stuff I wrote on the Amiga ported to Win32 and thence to NetBSD very well. I’d hoped to learn similar tricks for SVG when first I read of it. But on NetBSD there is pretty much only Apache Batik, alas. Then after reading how SMIL is a W3C format I got excited all over again. But my joy was yet again premature.

And so I look forward with most eager anticipation toward your future efforts in bringing SVG and SMIL to Firefox. I’ve bookmarked this page and will peek in every month or so.

No change from my side. I still haven’t got back into it (apart from addresing some bitrot). I’m busy with other things but I’ll see if there’s been any progress on the attribute stuff. If there has then I’ll have a bit more motivation to get back into it.

Since is a big portion of the stuff missing from Firefox’s SVG implementation, can anyone give us a timeframe on it? Like when will it be merged into the trunk? I would hate to see this slipping and not making Firefox 3.

Thanks,
Jeff
