Hello,
I am starting ImageMagick bindings translation.
(http://www.imagemagick.org/script/index.php)
Where should I make it available after it is ready? Is there a place on source forge where you keep bindings?
thanks,

We were already planing a fpc/packages/contrib dir, maybe that's the right place.

ok, but should it be put inside the fpc subversion? I mean, if people do lot´s and lot´s of bindings the fpc subversion might soon get very big. Perhaps it´s better if extra bindings are sent to something like the Lazarus CCR and who wants to use the bindings can download them. Most people might not need ImageMagick and the complete bindings must have something like 10.000 lines of code.
This might also be good because I am planning a release with the binding at a stage where I can run the ImageMagick demo program. In this case the binding will still be very incomplete. And, at least in my point of view, a place like the CCR has the advantage that changes are immediatly available as opposed to changes only being available on the next release for people who don´t use the subversion FPC. This can dramatically increase the development speed of bindings.
thanks,
The trouble is that a lot of packages that go there will need maintainance.

There are packages that are 100 times as big scheduled for contrib/ so that
I think fpc's svn repository is the best place. Until then, feel free to send it to me and I will put it on the lazarus-ccr.

I think the bindings will be too beta and too quickly changing on the first versions to be on fpc svn.
Maybe we can put it on the lazarus-ccr while it is beta and send it to the svn only it stabilizes. This way we get the best of both approaches.
